Far Corners

I felt the flames,

Burning strongly within me.

It wasn’t right,

But I hoped it would be.

Time flew by,

And so did the days.

I tried to approach him,

But courage vanished at such a stage.

I loved him truly,
Or so I thought,

And imagined all of the possibilities,

Of holding him close and having him all for me.

I imagined myself rapped in his arms,

As he caressed my face with a touch so soft.

I imagined the passion and pleasure I’d feel,

Had he been with me for just one night.

Then that day came,

When our eyes met.

He approached me for a dance,

This could have been my only chance.

It was clear that I wanted him,

And he seemed willing to go all the way.

I hesitated a bit,

But he pulled me close and wispered my name.

The goose bumps rose all over my skin,

I had him now and that was it. 
I spilt my drink, but he didn’t seem to mind,

Today was going to be our special night.

 He flicked his wrist,

And his wedding band did shine.

As though God,

Was pointing out a clear sign.

Why did this have to happen all at once?

Had he realised what he had?

Was it worth more than what could be?
