A Sting In the Tale

Our eyes met across a crowded room You blew me a kiss and it lifted the gloom Strode over to me and asked me to dance I held on tightly – wasn’t missing this chance The attraction between us now is woken Our eyes conversing the only words spoken I pull you close your shapely bottom I'm clutching Our lips so close though not yet touching. My eyes fall upon your left hand There was a telltale ring sign – I didn’t understand How could you be acting like you were really ‘free’ I don’t want to hear my wife doesn’t understand me There is no ring because I was betrayed If she had been faithful I would have stayed I won't deny it was painful but life is too short for regret Truth I've been seeking and truth I've just met. Well I’ve heard it a thousand times before We’ll end up as lovers then you’ll walk out the door I need a man that I can really trust Not one whose eyes are simply filled with lust It is not lust within my eyes you see But an appreciation of all that could be Feel our hearts beating chest to breast Allow the truth from our hearts put your fears to rest. There is a look of honesty in your big brown eyes I find you so attractive that fact I can't disguise So lets take things slowly it's a chance we cannot miss Out lips lock together in a tender kiss Happy to take things slowly, what need have we of haste I feel I am in heaven with my arms around your waist I swear I almost fainted when we sat down on the bench You reveal your inner passion with our kisses turning French. Just as passion is rising my mobile phone it rings I pause so I can answer it and the news it brings My husband he is on his way, oh damn I forgot about him Better dash off my love and forget this night of sin.
