They Share a Kiss

Two hearts that meet upon the shore,
One day of bliss, there can’t be more.
Though enthralled, deep within a kiss,
Thinking, their lives, they both would miss.

These two souls that sparked a fire
Knew, inside, of their desire,
The wanton act of untamed heat
On that one day, that they would meet.

They felt their longing deep inside,
The feelings they knew, both should hide.
For they both knew their selfish gain
Would hurt some others and bring shame.

They still kept passion as their friend.
Be rest assured that cannot end.
The fires deep within their soul
Kept burning on, out of control.

The lovers knew, as friends, should be.
Perhaps one day, some chance, they’ll see.
Until that day of lover’s bliss,
As friends for now, they share a kiss.
