A recent true encounter that hurt. I write the verse to understand and lesson the pain. 

Never Got the Chance(revised) 
By
Kevin L Fairbrother

I’ve moved on, left the hurt, I failed to cement my feelings
Feelings that have twisted and knotted deep inside my being
My wounded heart bears the pain, my mind a jumble of, why
For we had so much love to give one and other and we may never meet again

We shared the moments of our past, conversed about our travels and hopes
Shared our dreams of happiness for which we are deserving
Long into the night and early morn we were engrossed with one and other
We could not keep our hands, our lips and bodies from each other

But that night and morning a spark was born but failed to ignite
The flame of passion, compassion and moments of care for each other
Built to a tangle of hand holding, lips together and bodies entwined
Together we felt as one our bodies feeling the heat of the encounter

Kissing and cuddling holding each other so tight, we could have reached the heights we so desired
We were in world, so close to a night filled with passion and love for each other
Suddenly she felt this was not right, her past tempered the flame, it went out
The memories of her husband and the life they had together, filled her mind



She became reserved went back into her shell, the time and place was not right
I understood, I could not bring myself to add to the pain and hurt she felt
I gave her an embrace and a kiss to wipe away the tears that fell like rain
I said I can wait, but you have to let go, and I will be there if you need me

Those magic moments of that night I will cherish and remember
With a women of beauty encased in a shell as yet unbroken
For only time will heal the pain and hurt she feels from the past
Gone now, she had left, I never got the chance to say goodbye
