Disclosure

We had talked at length for hours, we had held hands


Sharing the innocent intimate touch that matters so very much


We had gone for a walk in the moonlight along the creekside park


Watching as the lights twinkled on the boats in the bay; it was pleasant together 
in the late spring


We ended back at her place in a roundabout way, it wasn’t predicted, it just 
happened like that


She asked me in for a coffee or two, the night was still young, what else could I do


She put the coffee on and sat down beside me, putting her hand on my leg


There is something I should tell you before we started just so you know from 
where I have parted




Her eyes got real sad as she started to speak; I knew it was straight from the 
heart


I took a deep breath and listened intently as she told of how her heart was once 
broken


My late husband was a wonderful man, he was kind and gentle with a warm 
loving touch


I miss him daily as he was my love


But you now come along as wonderful and kind in so many ways


If you are to love me and we make a new start 


All that I ask is you be gentle with my heart
