I was lost in your eyes
when you reached across to unbuckle my seatbelt
your lips grazed my cheek
and a shiver ran through my veins

I love you, but I have to go
were the words you left
lingering in my ears

I stepped out of the car
and leaned through the window
and you gave me one last kiss

you sped up the street
knowing you would be late
but you braked

I was staring waiting for you to go
but you opened the door
and ran
straight to me

you lifted me off my feet
and once again grazed my cheek
and whispered
sweet remedies in my ears

you jogged back to your jeep
and fled around the conner
and it wasn't until two am
that I realized I forgot to tell you
how much I love you

when I got the call
I knew the kiss would have to last me forever
for there would never be another

yet I ran to your house
and sat on the lawn
in front of your window
begging for you
begging for just one more kiss
and one more chance
to tell you
I love you
