It was a casual affair,
A light hearted romp in the hay.
We we not naive
Starry-eyed romantics
Who believed
In soulmates
And happy endings,
We knew it could not last.
It was only meant to be
A harmless bit of fun,
A fling.
With the utmost caution
We laid down ground rules
And made no promises.
We'd share our stolen moment
And then we'd smile
And say goodbye,
And walk away
With no recriminations
And no regrets.
Oh yes!!!! We had it planned
But somewhere along the way
Those plans went awry;
And now after all the years,
I catch my breath in wonder
And rejoice to see
You are still here,
In love with me.
