Aftertaste

I can feel your taste in my lips, 
Your hand on my hips,
for hours even after you are gone. 

I remember the hurried last kiss, 
One that you would never miss, 
Even when time is not in our hands. 

I sleep with a bright smile tonight, 
Wondering if it's all going to be all right, 
And then morning comes, you are gone. 

Will you be back again? 
Fight for me through sun and rain? 
And just like the aftertaste of you, I wait until the thoughts fade away
