So tiny and wrinkly
Somewhat ugly too...
I fell in love with you
Even before...
I set my eyes on you
Welcoming you into this world
With tears of joy
My baby,
You kissed my life bright!
**********************
Looking into your eyes
Kissing away your pain
Life isn't a bed of roses
Loyalties wane
Protect you, guide you and comfort you
I can do that
To experience life
And to grow
Is entirely your domain.
***********************
Melted in your arms
The bliss...
Of your kiss
Lifted me from the abyss
Now, sealing our love
Each moment we cherish
Is the foundation for
Sweet memories.
***********************
Wish there was more time
Wish we could've talked more
Wish you didn't have to suffer
And I, see the life being
Snuffed out from you
Wish I didn't have to kiss you good bye
Yet, you will live in me forever.
