Analysis of Kiss



Kiss me in the morning as soon as you are awake
Kiss me goodnight knowing I will keep you warm and safe
Kiss me hello when we have been away
Kiss me goodbye knowing it is only temporary
Kiss me when I am sad to say you feel it too
Kiss me when times are good letting me know we made it through
Kiss me just because to let me know nothing has changed
Kiss me in the sunshine and kiss me in the rain
Kiss me when it's cold to let me know you need my warmth
Kiss me when it is dark to let me know you want to be in my arms
Kiss me when we make love to say things that need no words
Kiss me when we are done to let me know I complete your world
