the day finally came
bonds were severed
couldn't put it off any longer
one broken heart
another cool to the touch
time stood still
as cold as our kisses
vows had been shattered
I tremble in shame
for what we have wrought
secret sensuous meetings
they who knew us
knew not us that well
we both needed something
the other had to spare
but now sanity rules
it is best that it does
we were dangerously close
to falling off a lovers' cliff
we met with hot-bloodied kisses
we parted with a handshake
had I to do it over
I would, God help me, I would

I wish her all the best,
Without trouble or stress.

Jerry, I understand this, but just remember you are a survivor...something I tell myself each day.

Oh, yes indeed, Maureen, I am very much a survivor. This was a thing that was hurting both of us because of external things. It is best this way. Still . . . the hurt is there. Thank you, I appreciate your thoughts.
