The Greatest Kiss

 

You stood there on the hill, looking down at the town,
Thinking of all the things that had gone wrong,
All the little dreams that had turned to smoke.
“Why me?” Was all you could think of.
“Why them?” Was what got you the most.
Then that thought came to you
And a little bit of warmth hit your smile.
Because the day of your greatest kiss still lay ahead
And that was forever worth holding on for.
