One Love In a Lifetime

By luck you didn't see me as your bold eyes swept the room. I stayed within the shadows as you poised to pluck a bloom. I saw you take her hand and whirl her gaily to the floor. I hurried to the exit, before I could see more. Hours later when I hear you quietly insert the key, I wonder just what story you've concocted to tell me. I do not want to hear it, I pretend to be asleep. What I have to say to you can until the morning keep. One love in a lifetime is how it was meant to be. One love in a long lifetime, enough for you and me. One love in a long lifetime would be forever true. One love in a lifetime proved for you to be too few. One of the no. 3 awards
