Kiss You At the Gate

I saw you standing at the gate

I wanted to run and kiss you again

We'd already said our goodbyes

I thought you had already gone inside

Then you were there, looking at me

I thought, "Should I do it?"

What would he think?

I thought I would go for it

Ready to run

I reached for my buckle

The moment begun

Then you waved and turned around

The moment had passed

I hesitated too long

I imagined the moment as it were a song

I thought of these lines

I wanted to kiss you at the gate

A moment of hesitation, now I'm too late

So instead here's a poem

Written just for you

A moment sometimes is all we get

Don't hesitate for it goes by quick

Life is but a dream
