If you kiss me once before I die
I will not die a happy man.

I'll die wishing I had more time
to kiss you once again.

To kiss you a thousand times
Like I've done so in my mind.

Pressed against your flesh in
loves passionate embrace.

A lifetime has passed
to find us in this place.

So do not kiss me before I die.

Eternity is far too long
to ruminate on why.

Was this a kiss of love, 
or merely of goodbye?

Please, please don't kiss me!

My dying soul can not bear it.
So the last line I originally wrote bare it.
Spellcheck said that was wrong so I changed it.
Looking at it now I'm not sure.
A little insight from someone with more grammatical knowledge
than myself would be appreciated.
