Something Like a Kiss

A pain I felt once ruled me, had all but proven to me 
 that what you had been saying,  wasn't’t true.
I had given up on love and given you my best
It was painful when you left,  my life was just a mess.
 Remembering what you said that day,
 hit me like a virus, exploding off  your lips, 
you left me with 
Something Like a Kiss...

The thought, of  me not holding you or letting myself go from you
Hurt more than I was ready to admit,
Your sweet love & tenderness,
Your soft touch & gentleness
plagued my memories with affection
I could’t resist.

I thought I would be fine,  if I could keep you
from my life and off my mind. 
True love wasn't meant for us,  
together we weren't’ meant to be.
what we lost wasn't only love, but trust.

The love you once gave to me
came Spiraling down
dripping slowly 
from you lips onto the ground.

Remembering what you said to me
the day you went away, I was left  with 
something like a kiss.
