I am saving your kiss as a sentimental souvenir
Of the chances I chose to take,
In a summer I'll remember for all of my life,
Along with the memories and love we dared to make.
With the questions left unanswered and the truths never told,
And the sweet warm bodies at night,
With the countless miles traveled on this heart's highway,
And the left turns taken when I should have gone right.
Tender times I will always treasure,
Tucked away in my mind's cedar chest
To remove now and then, to touch and remember,
With love, no tears or regrets.
