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
