Goodnight Sweet Prince

I take your kiss upon my cheek,
the lightest touch,
it's rather sweet.
I stroke your hand and say goodnight.
I wait until you dim the light.
Your foot steps pad along the hall,
the stairs they creek upon my wall.
You are now gone,
my heart resists,
it begins to slow,
the thrill desists.
I wait once more for the light of dawn,
when once again,
I see you yawn.
The day it starts,
just as it ends,
a kiss from you,
it makes amends.
