Have you known someone this life-time
That was here and now is gone?
You remember easily their cheerful-laugh
And maybe took a walk with them at dawn

Does your heart ache for them sometimes?
When you have a moment all alone?
Your memories of time together
Maybe good conversations on the phone

When you look you can see their soulful smile
You remember a warm embrace
You can even recall the times you argued
And the tears streaming down their face

Do you recall how when you were with them,
That with you they were like no-other-friend?
You thought how lucky that-you-were
And wanted to have them with you till the end?

Take a close look right now in your life
And tell me who you'll really miss
It may be a friend you share a coffee with
Or a lover with whom you share a kiss

But in this life you'll meet so many
And in that many there will only be a few
Right now your mind may go to someone
Who truly loves and understands just you

You realize there's something unique about them
Where love and friendship go beyond
And if you knew one day they were here-no-more,
Possibly you'd feel like you just could not go on...

This love, this trust...
It's a closeness that cannot be described...
In truth your souls met and shared one heartbeat,

And today this keeps both of you alive...

Can you really forget me,

just as simple as that?

It's hard to believe
after making love in your bed
with all the things that we shared
and all the things that you said...

I feel like a fool
please tell me it just-isn't-true
because it seems I believed

in falling in love,
and
falling for you...

Now there's something I feel
I really must ask,

Can you truly forget me,

just as simple as that?

I really don't get it?
I mean what happened to us?

We'd laugh and we walked
We'd have coffee and talk

For hours on end,
As intimate friends...

Closer and closer
The more love that we shared
I opened my heart
You showed that you cared

But suddenly it's different
Your distant and cold
You say it's all over
Like we're young and then old

Is there is someone you want?
More desperate than me?
That is so unbelievable
My heart cannot-even-see

My soul it feels shattered
In fact my heart it's in shock
Were your words all just empty?
The late nights that we talked?

And after all of our sensual
and intimate texts
It's hard to believe
that nothing comes next...

I told you I loved you
in intimate chats...

Can you truly forget me?

just as simple as that?

Kiss Now

Kiss now
Before  you forget
Kiss now
Just like the day we-first-met

Kiss long
Like time has stood still
Get lost in the moment
Until your hearts are fulfilled

Kiss deep
With every emotion you feel
Take one single breath
As your eyes lock-onto what's real

Kiss gentle
Until you both feel aroused
Kiss soft
Until you feel your head-in-the-clouds

Look ahead
As you age and slow down
I'm sure you'll kiss then
but,
Kiss now
While they're still around

Kiss now
With every ounce of your soul
Kiss with passion
So that each of you know

Kiss Now
because soon
Now becomes Then
And guess what?

You'll look back

and,

"Wished you kissed when..."
