The Ghost of an Unkissed Kiss

The ghost of an unkissed kiss
A field of snow without footprints —
It’ll always be perfect, but we didn’t get to live it
The lights that shone for us across the water
Through the misty dusk —
It’ll always be perfect, but we didn’t get to live it
These lonely places were touched by love —
Dust for the traces and they’ll show up
These are the words we’ll pack away
These are the feelings that will stay
Dry eyes, dry eyes
It was never going to end in dry eyes
We’ll never know what we let go
How do you push aside
Something that just feels so right?
It’ll always be perfect
But I didn’t get to live it
We found what so many seek
But it was never ours to keep
It’ll always be perfect, but we didn’t get to live it
I know how unfair been on her
That I could have made it easier
But I wanted her so bad, you see
I just wouldn’t stop at anything
Wrong as it was to do
Those eyes were made to look into
It’ll always be perfect
But we didn’t get to live it
So I would just do wrong
Until theache became too strong
It’ll always be perfect, but we didn’t get to live it
