Day Dreaming

As she sits drinking coffee
on a warm summer day.
Thoughts of him comes to
her mind.
A smile quickly appears across
her face. 

*She remembers that long spring
day when they met, talked, laughed
and walked hand in hand as though
they had been together all along.

He craved their names with his knife
on the big white oak tree.
He wrote it so everyone passing by
would see.

Suddenly she jumps when she hears
a crash on the ground.
Looking down she saw she dropped
her coffee cup.
A  sadness quickly appears across
her face.

*She remembers when the day was
over and he held her close,
Whispering in her ear he says
'We can be because I am married'.

Expression is simple but fine. In the concept of the poem I have felt that the person who whispers is a true married lover.
