Always kiss me Goodnight.

I'm not going to ask for the moon,
and I certainly won't ask for any stars.
All I ever want to know
is that you'll allow me to have your heart.
 
In return, I want you to know
that, though trials may surface to show
their faces through our time and spaces,
until God calls me home, I won't ever let your heart go.
 
Something much different,
not extravagant or overtly bent
on shallow, showy demonstrations
of shadows that live to impersonate true affections.
 
Kiss me before you close your eyes
as night falls, but before we lose ourselves to sleep
hold me close and whisper that you're mine.
Never sleep before you've kissed me goodnight.
 
I won't ask for chocolate or roses,
and I don't need candlelight
with dinners to the tune of Gaye or White.
I just need your heart and your kiss goodnight.
 
Call me darling or baby or babe
it doesn't really matter, as long as you call me yours.
So at the end of the day, begin our conversation with the stars
with your affectionate, protective kiss goodnight.
