Promises Thought

Hate me if you must I never planned to hurt you You imagined promises Those words I never spoke Our kiss was oh so brief Electricity filled the air I longed for your embrace We played our passionate game Young lovers intertwined You smiled I whispered in your ear All those things that lovers say Read backwards and forwards another reverse poem.
