Transparent Intentions

The song wafted through the air,
scent of lurid happiness and
seductive sway beneath the veneer,
intermingling in their ears and
drew them together,
cast aside their fears
as they came close he whispered
in her ear...

Tears welled up, the dam broke
and they fell silently down her soft cheeks

three words she had heard before
three words she will hear no more
from any other man.
in the right order, they make perfect sense. But Intentionality draws the line between Love and less
