My kingdom for a kiss upon his shoulder

If you were sat, and I were stood,
If your shirt was undone, I most definitely would,
I would plant my lips on your collar bone,
And try to claim it as my very own.

If you fell over your words, as you always do,
I would reach my fingers up to those lips untrue,
I’d hold them there, and hold your gaze,
And our memories would fall through a hundred past days.

You’d let me do it, even now, I’ve seen
The look in your eyes – long after becoming what we should never have been,
Even weeks after finally saying all we had to say,
Despite following your heart, you’d allow me, even to this day.

Apart now though, it makes me so very sad,
To know, after all the pain, I’d give all that,
While you’re not alone, and I’m far out of reach,
I still haven’t learnt all that love had to teach.
