I remember that morning's kiss,
just a quick peck and you were gone.

Running late for work again,
we'd lain in bed too long.

I should have kept you there,
had I known I surely would.

But hindsight is perfect and looking back
does no good.

One moment longer had I kept you,
or one moment faster out the door.

These are the things
that will haunt
my mind for evermore.

Yes,

I remember that morning's kiss.

Just a quick peck.

And you were gone.
This poem was inspired by the song Last Kiss (the Pearl Jam version)
originally recorded by Wayne Cochran in 1961

I believe the music and recitation of the poem really adds to the emotion of it.
Thanks
