"So I lived my life in a dream world
For the rest of my days
Just you and me walking hand in hand
In a wishful memory"
from It's Sad to Belong by England Dan & John Ford Coley
How difficult a feeling it is to yearn
for someone whom you know that you should not.
They see you. You wonder if your cheeks burn
when they stare you down; oh, the room feels hot!
To yearn for somebody when you have on
a wedding ring can fill you with some guilt.
But if that somebody is a Don Juan,
you have to think about the life you’ve built
already with your spouse; you must resist
his special style that sets your heart on fire.
Think of all the women he’s surely kissed.
You’re just a souvenir he would acquire.
You feel obsessed, and want so to give in.
Be strong. Don’t let him get beneath your skin.
