Villa Nel

VILLA NEL Passion does not a relationship make Nel was a love of mine so long ago In that villa overlooking the lake Our time as one was short, for pity’s sake A summer’s month offered no time to grow Passion does not a relationship make She left, and I was bereft in her wake For many years now I have still felt low In that villa overlooking the lake Hot sun and hot blood was not hard to take It was easy to let emotions flow Passion does not a relationship make Looking back, was I more than just a rake Nel was much more than I could ever know In that villa overlooking the lake It was all very real and never fake Yet still I rue the day I had to go Passion does not a relationship make In that villa overlooking the lake
