Before I Go

A little black dress
Soft laughter
Ringing clear
Your arm slightly
Brushing mine
Lights singing
Stars smiling
 
Your eyes and mine
The smile
Of a joke just passed
Lingering
Fading
Just me and you
Baby, just us
 
Wishing to be alone
I'm leaving soon
Just give me this
One last kiss
To seal our love
A promise unspoken
 
Soft curls brushing
Soft bare shoulders
The glisten and
Glow of love
Lights reflecting
Your eyes sparkling
Hold me tight
Like it's the last
Because maybe
It is
 
Just give me this
A final laugh
Lights floating 
In this night's sky
Your arms about
My tiny waist
Strong and
Safe
 
Just give me this
Little black dress
Your lips so soft
And arms so strong
Just give me this
One last time
So my heart can be whole
Before it's torn
