I Kiss You Every Night

I sit in this, the now silent home and love you.

I play Amazing Grace and feel you by my side.

I look at your picture and I think of our eternal love.

Some say you are gone, but that is because they are blind

I know different, for I see you in everything that is beautiful.

I hear you when the birds of the morning gather and so softly sing.

I kiss you every night and I feel the joy that our love does bring.

I thought upon our days; I thought about our life and found no regrets.

For we loved each other with a love that God says we should all beget.

We together climbed mountains; we traversed of multitude of seas.

And each night before I go to bed…I still kiss you and you kiss me.

So know that my thoughts remain with you my love each and every day.

Know that in my heart; know that in my very soul that you will always stay.

Did you know that I have the very last phone call that you ever made to me?

I play it every night; I look into your eyes and kiss you before I go to sleep.

I will never forget you; I will never break that final promise that I made.

I will someday exit this life; this chartreuse world in which I now stay.

I will give back to you everything and more that to me in your love gave.

Yet for now, yet even unto this day; I will kiss you every night and listen to the last phone call to me that you ever made…Good night sweet love…good night.
