My skin fragranced with the masculinity of another

Free of the very frostbite once anguishing me

I journeyed for miles to gain full closure

Put to rest the wistful memories trapped in my soul

Expectations were realistic, honorable

A friendly visit, no indiscretions in mind

Our flames were ignited for others now

Stored in the catacombs of our hearts

When first we faced at my hotel room door

I could feel my spine crumbling, knees weakening

Suddenly thirsty for the touch of a forbidden lover

Denying myself the kisses of unbounded lust

No way could you see the pathetic existence of my desires

Your body language molded steadfast, scaring me away

Secretly I brush my hand invading your softness

Leaning in one last time to feel your sweet breath on my face

Would you have, could you have, or did you even want to

Six years too late the truth exposed

Mistake, misfortune, or fairytale ending

Through separate lives some things never known
