Because you refused to kiss me on my lips before you go, <br /> <br />time is arthritis to my bones, <br /> <br />can’t move, <br /> <br />only clock is moving <br /> <br />but very slow <br /> <br />unlike my heartbeat, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />it isn’t nice to kiss in public, you told me, <br /> <br />I refused to acknowledged the fact, <br /> <br />loneliness is a fact, <br /> <br />a timeless wound all lonely souls knew, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />could kiss you on your forehead or your cheek <br /> <br />in front of the forlorn bus passengers, <br /> <br />but like wine, longing ness rushed to my head <br /> <br />from my heart, that moment, <br /> <br />weakened by the fact that everything is a comma, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />so if ever, love, <br /> <br />that the bus you’re in hits a dike, <br /> <br />or on my way home, cardiac arrested me, <br /> <br />no despair please to whomever be left alone, <br /> <br />if ever, love, <br /> <br />that kiss will be a lonely bird in the wide sky, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />so please kiss me on my lips before you go <br /> <br />if there will be next time, <br /> <br />you could tell that my kiss on your cheek or the forehead’s the same, <br /> <br />but your kiss on my lips <br /> <br />heals the unripe wounds of my heart, <br /> <br />forgive this child, <br /> <br />his folly, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />yesterday when we were young, <br /> <br />we’re mad, <br /> <br />crazy about the moon and his tears, the ocean, <br /> <br />untamed about our impulsive actions and road trips, <br /> <br />now we have a child and we’re grown ups as we want to believed, <br /> <br />we’ve lost something I think, so <br /> <br />lets take away the breath of the lonely travelers <br /> <br />if ever they catch a glimpse of us doing it, <br /> <br />take away my heart with you, <br /> <br />please please kiss me on my lips before you go. <br /> <br />if there will be next time.<br /><br />Frederick Maurice S.
