• "Can I kiss you?"

    If you do will I begin to miss you?
    When we hug goodbye will there
    be a tear in my eye? Will I have to
    lie to my mum about where I am
    going tonight and stay up late in
    your arms that hold me tight and
    then you'll whisper in my ear to
    have no fears for you'll never leave
    'cause leaving is for the weak and
    how I've made your heart beat stronger
    than on the day you were born. And in
    the morning where we regret nothing
    but the clothes that lie on the bedroom
    floor will you be out the door? Or will you
    stay by my side from morning till night.
    And when I cry will you run and hide
    or will you kiss me with the same impulse
    that you feel now and somehow, still,
    I want to kiss you too,
