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.
