To Say Adieu, Is So Dire a Crime

To say Adieu, is so dire a crime,
I said only once,
That same time
Her heart shred tears of pride
by the seaside. 
 
I kissed her lips, so sweet and pale, 
I kissed only once,
Like in a faery tale
A chaste fire warmed her face
With holy grace. 
 
I cannot leave, beside her side,
I loved only once,
To this very day
The same girl that cried to see
her life with me.
