Last Kiss

I still remember the look on your face
Lit through the darkness at 1:58
Words that you whispered for just us to know
You told me you loved me, so why did you go?

I do recall now the smell of the rain,
Fresh on the pavement. I ran off the plane
That July 9th, the beat of your heart
The jumps through your shirt
I can still feel your arms

I do remember the swing of your step
The life of the party, you’re showing off again
And I roll my eyes and then you pull me in
I’m not much for dancing, but for you I did
Because I love your handshake meeting my father
I love how you walk with your hands in your pockets
How you kiss me when I was in the middle of saying something
There’s not a day I don’t miss those rude interruptions

But now I’ll go
Sit on the floor wearing your clothes
All that I know is I don’t know
How to be something you miss
Never thought we’d have our last kiss

So I’ll watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep
And I’ll feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe
And I’ll keep up with our old friends just to ask them how you are
Hope it’s nice where you are
And I hope the sun shines, and it’s a beautiful day
And something reminds you, you wish you had stayed
You can plan for a change in weather and time
But I never planned on you changing your mind.
