A Bit Of Eternity ………(nice with sax jazz Dianna Reeves “When I Fall In Love”)

I kissed the phone
when we hung up.
I don’t know why, but
I kissed your picture
when we broke up.
Just one last kiss
to say goodbye.
With no control,
my tears let go.
I’d like to see you,
but then again
I guess not.
I’m so confused,
was it something I did,
the way I said a thing ?
We never talked,
you packed a bag, like
you had somewhere to be.
I should hope you’ll be happy
but I’m fucking tore up instead.
I’ll keep you in my heart.
I never ever wish
for that to go away.
Please know, if you
think of me tomorrow,
if I drift across your mind,
know that I am with you
and you are not alone.
If it’s trite to say I love you,
I’ll say it just the same.
I will always love you and
pray you will come home
after your search finds you
the peace you’re looking for.
Oh sweet darling dear
my heart aches so and
I can’t bear this any more.
Wasn’t it good at all?
I thought we had it right
I thought it was meant to be
I thought we had it perfect,
… a bit of eternity.
