From the first day I saw you
I knew you were the one.
You were so kind and beautiful
but you were so young.
--
I was so much older.
A man of the world.
You were just becoming
a woman from a girl.
--
Then one day I asked you
if there was a chance.
That maybe you and I
could be in a romance.
--
We knew that the chances
of us having a life
would be complicated
because I have a wife.
--
So we did the right thing.
We went our separate ways.
Both of us hoping, maybe
we would meet again someday.
--
It was just two years later
that we would meet again.
By then you were already
married to another man.
--
You said that you got married
because now you have a son.
But the man that you married
he is not your only one.
--
So now we are both married.
Just not to one another.
I am now a father
and you are a mother.
--
It was twenty years later
when we would meet again.
My wife was growing angry.
Your husband a cheating man.
--
Instead of only dreaming.
We gave ourselves to each other.
Now you are my mistress
and I am your lover.
--
We cannot see each other
except once in a while.
When we are together though,
you always make me smile.

Howdy y’all. It’s me, ninong7 aka UJ aka John. Just a short intro about myself. I am a Texan that has retired in the Philippines. I moved to the Philippines with my wife back in May 2010. I am retired from the US Air Force. The music I like is mostly Classic Country and Classic Rock. I guess you could say that I am “Classic”. I play dominoes when I can find someone that will play, I play chess, cribbage, spades, hearts, Empire Builder, Rail Baron, Acquire and a few other games. I like to write poems and stories (although pretty novice) and I love learning about history, just about any history. I’m at home on my computer a lot but if I could afford to, I’d be traveling and documenting my travels to post in my blog. I hope to get to know a lot of you through PeakD and Discord.
