Our secret world
We laugh as you douse my
flame again
A battle long fought, well
played
So many years of thrust and
parry
Yet I always let you carry
the day
We are not a matched couple
Once a month with naughty
talk
A touch and shake of the
head
And then a kiss of sweet
goodbye
We go for a meal and laugh
With talk of life and
nonsense
Drinking wine and me
holding
One of your little fingers
We never validate our love
Why should we proclaim it?
It is there for all to know
This means just the two of
us.
well done
