Vilanelle
To M
Tonight I love you more than you can know
My feelings are not usually so clear
Just kiss me one more time before you go
I love it when we're like this; sweet and slow
Our arms entwined, my lips beside your ear
Tonight I love you more than you can know
We say but little, keep our voices low -
My parents in the other room: too near
Just kiss me one more time before you go
Feels like the first few times we kissed although
We've been together almost half a year
Tonight I love you more than you can know
Our faces are lit with love's inner glow
Still can't believe you love me and you're here
Just kiss me one more time before you go
I wish I did not have to let you go
And yet I must; goodnight my sweet, sweet dear
Tonight I love you more than you can know
Just kiss me one more time before you go.
