Sorry Teacher

Sitting in the classroom
Staring through half-closed eyes
Your voice is surrounding me
A lover in disguise

Your fingers lace through mine
Forbidden, what a rush
And to think that just two years ago
You were nothing but a crush

Your lips on mine taste so sweet
I can never get enough
Hidden in your classroom
We speak the words of love

The school year passes by
No one suspects a thing
A crazy whirlwind romance
Too long to be a fling

You can't forget the consequence
If we were soon discovered
I can't seem to let you go
The deepest love I have uncovered

I'm content as I lie in your arms
But teacher you're so distant
"We can't do this anymore" you whisper
My life is over in an instant

Called into the headmaster
I'm sorry that I told
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
Our story now unfolds

Two long years of desire
Attraction, love and heat
Are now slowly disappearing
As I watch you from my seat

Please understand I had to tell
Because you broke my heart
Nothing else made sense you see
Love never made me smart

I watch you as you're led away
And everything goes grey
Understand I loved you
And think of you every day

Wow Beth this is awesome. I work in a school - never known it to happen since I've worked there but I know from the press that it does. Reminds me of the Police Song 'Don't stand so close to me' Jan x
