POEM: KISS ME GOODBYE

kiss me goodbye

Kiss me goodbye my friend,

‘Cos this one night stand just ended,

Wave me goodbye my sweet prince,

‘Cos in your touch I found gladness,

You carried me away 2 some place new

You taught me things I would never know in books,

You brought me warmth

You put a smile on me face even when am dreaming,

Now its goodbye to this sweet serenade,

‘Cos it meant so little to you

Unlike how it meant 2 me,

Maybe we were just not compatible

Kiss me goodbye my darling

‘Cos our memories like moving pictures I keep in my heart dearly

As long as I know how to love, I know I’ll stay alive

Maybe someday we’ll shake hands like strangers again

Perhaps soon enough I’ll understand you never loved me at all

Goodbye my friend,

Te amo.
