Kiss Me Gently

Kiss me gently, like you do
Tell me, in soft words
How much you love me
And share your inner thoughts

Tell me your stories
Your dreams and hopes
Let me see who you are
Share a mind with me

Hold me firmly, like you do
And keep me warm and safe
Spare me sorrow and fear
Let my worries fade

Remind me of the future
But share with me our past
Time ticks slowly closer
Yet there’s no need to hurry

Walk slowly with me,
Like you have
Stand with me in the storms
And be my cherished friend

We grow together, stronger
Without hate or anger
It’s a bond worth saving
Nurturing, precious, faithful

The night grows quiet, my love
Our eyes grow heavy, weary
So kiss me gently, like you do
Before we walk sleep’s path
