S

may I kiss you

may I kiss you
In every laugh, every tear, every memory we share,
Your presence lingers, a ghostly care.
So I'll raise my glass, in a silent toast,
To the one who's absent, yet forever the most.

The city lights blur, the music fades away,
But my heart remains, in this endless gray.
I search for solace, in the noise and the fray,
But my soul keeps whispering, "Come what may."

So I'll whisper low, in the noise of the night,
May I kiss you? And hold you tight?
For in the stillness, my heart beats for you,
And in the silence, my love shines true.

In the shadows, I'll wait, for the dawn's early light,
For the moment when I can hold you tight.
And though we're apart, my love will remain,
A constant heartbeat, that echoes your name.
