Victorian Secret Love

Their love was strictly forbidden
Secret meetings in the dark
A stolen kiss in the moonlight
An embrace in the park,

Notes passed to say; "I love you"
He winks to acknowledge the signs
She smiles ever so sweetly
One day he will be mine,

War is all apparent
He marches off to fight
She sees him off at the station
He disappears into the night,

Every night she sits and waits
Her heart aches for the love of her life
Her hope and desire that one day
He will come to make her his wife,

Important news from the front
Her lover has fallen, "slain"
Her heart withers and dies with her lover
Never to love again,

Annie

What was true for this beautifully rendered "Victorian Secret Love", is still a reality today, for secret or officially known couples: the war is still a most cruel reaper!

We need to trust in evolution!

Love,
Margherita
