Caressing your hand below the knuckles
A kiss to your forehead oh so insanely tender
Flirting with so many laughs and chuckles
Mixed feelings as if combined in a blender

Talking so sincerely when waiting for pizza
You walked beside me oh so intently spritely
A rose to make you happy when I greet ya
Talking to you oh so candid and politely

A better man whenever I was near you
Your natural sweetness never seemed to wane
A feeling I had and I knew you had it too
Poignant moments we shall never have again

I looked at you with that wonderful smile
So happy and natural to exude such true joy
You looked into my eyes for such a long while
You made me feel like a young love struck boy

If love makes one smitten then surely I was
If happiness makes one most beautiful you were
I fell for you so hard...why...you know because
Both our spirits and hearts began to yearn and stir

A bottle of wine and memories of laughing
Stories told to display ones character and soul
Caresses, kisses, hesitant words but refreshing
Only fragments now that exact their cruel toll
