"JUST FRIENDS"

"JUST FRIENDS"

Your warm breath
Inside my hair
Words caress
Then disappear
Like our secret
Love affair
"I love you, Dear.
But please, not here.
Those who know me,
might be near."
Your naked stare
Knows all, I like
"Never ask, never lie."
Messages
For me alone
Written down
Our secret code
Long goodbyes
Surprised hellos
Crowded rooms
The telephone
Open shirts
Skirts unzip
How we kiss
Is how we miss
Wine and words
To never cry
Lie and laugh
Our alibis
Flowers, cards
We've not the time
All your prose
A single line
When it ends
We both know
Those who ask
"Who, us ?
Just friends."
