Stealing kisses till the last minute,
we whispered goodbye.
Your hand delicately caressed my skin,
leaving a lingering promise,
Our sun will never set.
A silent tear rolled down my cheek,
as I battled misty feelings.
I hadn't known up until then.
I had a love for you, so deep.
I hugged you tighter,
let our breaths entwine.
Then slowly let you go.
Knowing, we have,
Mizpah.
