I guess I must be seeking, a temporary love-
If indeed, there could be such a thing.
I long for the emotion, ephemeral joy-
And to avoid the partings painful sting.

I long for those “sweet nothings”, to be whispered in my ears
The tender touch of gentle hands and lips-
Compassion for my folly, to calm my inner fears-
And help me with my faults to come to grips.

Temporary? Yes, indeed! That is the ideal love-
To fill my heart and serve to lift my load…
To vanish with a good-bye kiss, like down upon the wind
As I load my truck and go on down the road.
