Just One Last Kiss

...every word of this poem is true. My husband walked out on us and this is the story of when he came to say goodbye.

Just for one hour
I wanted to pretend
I wanted to forget
This pain you caused again

So you came to see out little girl
And you came to say goodbye
You let me forget
Why every day I cry

You put your arms around us
And held us so tight
A family once again
It almost felt right

You kissed my forehead
I closed my eyes
Lips touched my cheek,
I started to cry

With tears in my eyes
I looked up at you
Our lips nearly met
I didn't know what to do

So I turned away
Asked you if it was a joke
You pulled me close
And told me no

My weakness gave in
And we finally kissed
It hurt so good
What I so badly missed

I knew it would end
But it still made me smile
To have your touch
Just for a little while

To be a family once more
To be held once again
To remember your touch
After how long it's been

I asked you why
Why we had kissed
You said we both still care
And that I was missed

It felt so good
Yet it broke my heart
Because I knew soon
We'd again be apart

But I know deep inside
I must let you go
Even though I love you
And I don't want it to show

I really don't know
If I'll ever forgive
All that I know
Is that I must let you live

So I said my goodbye
And I held you tight
I knew that you leaving
Was doing right

I'm glad we were able
To end it like this
I'm glad that I gave you
Just one last kiss
