just happened to me this day,

it was as we were about to part

as she prepared her car to start,

her window down, to say adieu-

instead, a heartfelt kiss,

a kiss to linger

on and on

as long as

I shall live.

My dearest Love

from this day on

a great tradition has taken place,

for now we know how to seal our love

in the sweetest most admirable way-

for a kiss from the heart,

is a great way to start,

and should be continued each day,

not only Good-byes but also Hellos

warm, tender, kisses will come our way.
