I have heard most everyday,

As I pass them on the street,

They tell me I shouldn’t stay,

I say they don’t know the treat.

But how would they know?

The feeling when night comes,

Laying in the afterglow,

Our hearts pounding like drums.

The place seems empty from here,

Hiding its secrets within.

You are one of them, my dear.

How long has it been?

When our eyes first met,

And our bodies soon after,

All on a simple bet,

How the room filled with laughter.

The stairs are no trouble,

I make my way to your door,

As if floating on a bubble,

We meet when life is a bore.

Our first night we spent together,

The moon shone through the window.

Our bodies huddled in the cold weather,

As we talked upon the pillow.

I open the door to see you there,

My eyes move across your beauty.

You joined this little affair,

Because your groom can’t do his duty.

Our time is over today,

We both move to our feet,

The secret is locked away.

You return to your husband, I to the street.
