Kiss Me Goodbye

Started in August, felt a shift in the air

Got to know you better, caught up in the stare

Brown hair, falling softly, tattoos on display

Boyish smile, kind of wild, in that subtle way

Danced to Faithless, lost in the sound

Girl to woman, no turning back now

Arsenal games, cheering on the crew

Declan Rice, yeah, I saw you do

Pub drinks, secrets shared, looking over my way

Sky blue eyes, a silent play

Texts exchanged but you hold back

Avoiding me like a silent attack

Aren't you gonna kiss me goodbye then?

First kiss on New Year's after midnight's glow

Squeezed my hand, feeling the flow

See you soon, but it’s slow

Family bonds, wrapped tight and strong

Xmas present, where you belong

Mystery in your gaze, a little more each day

Waiting on the words you won’t say

So here’s the question, keeps echoing in my mind

Across the space, through the time

A simple ask, a quiet plea

Won’t you come closer to me?
