A Six Year Love Affair

Illegal love affair in all states,

Bound by bars of laws.

Looked down upon,

Our union is full of multiple flaws.

United by a mutual friend,

Extremely friendly past.

While in the arms of another,

Looking back toward the other.

Insecurities and uncertainties,

Secured our destinies,

Memories are what we have,

The truth will never taint.

Wild ecstasy filled nights,

My husband had chosen not to stay.

Unlocked doors and midnight rendezvous,

Cool, silken bodies against the light of the moon.

Wrapped up in a blanket of desire,

Listening tentatively.

In danger of an early arrival,

Are headlights in the driveway?

Leaving responsibilities behind,

Living out a real life fantasy.

We had an unintentional affair,

That ended sometime and somewhere.

An incident happened,

That brought the others in.

Emotions rose high,

While hurtful words flew.

This was a bump,

We never got through.

Life got hard for both you and I,

Going our separate ways and living our separate lies.

Goodbyes were left unsaid,

Tears were slowly shed.

So on we go, living our life,

I became someone else's wife.

Years 0passed on by,

Then I get a wild hair,

Call our mutual friend,

Found that you weren't there.

The feelings that I thought I lost,

Came tingling through my body.

Rushing back into my mind,

Beginning to reinstate that place and time.

Savory efforts were made,

A letter allowed communication.

Soon came those anticipated visits,

Grasping more than what the eye could see.

Remembering all the past at once,

Still trying to predict the future.

Getting caught-up was refreshing,

Day time fantasies while undressed.

What we had has definitely changed,

Our lives have gone other ways.

We share lives in an institution

Supported by the state,

Studying most of mine, yours is a sunless day.

Some say a conflict of interest,

Is an example of you and I.

A female lawyer one day and a con vic.,

What do they care? For you I'd lie...

Or so I say!

So here we are, where? I don't know...

Not knowing what to do,

Let them do as they please.

I don't care what happens, I just don't

Want to lose you.
