By Missy Quigley
You loved me for a little
You could not love me for long
You gave me wings of gladness
And sent my spirit song.
You loved me for an hour
But only with your eyes
Your lips I could not capture
By storm or by surprise.
Your mouth that I remember
With rush of sudden pain
As one remembers starlight
or rose after rain.
Out of a world of laughter
Suddenly I am sad
Day and night it haunts me
The kiss I never had.
