Every kiss …

Every day

We would write

My love and I

Often

Many times a day

And every letter

Every message

Ended 

With multiple kisses

XXXXXXXX

XXXXXXXX

And I said to my love

Every X is an IOU

That must be repaid

With interest due

And, I am pleased to say

We repay the debt

Every hour

Of every day

And never has there been a debt

I’ve been happier to repay
