A Poignant Encounter

It was about a year or so
After my first wife, Ann,
had left me for another man,
It was about 10 PM, I was
upstairs in my "living room"
and stangely she showed up,
In a taxi, unannounced,
I assure you,
Well, I went down,
and let her in, not
too pleased, cause you see,
She had put me through 
a year of hurt,
very devastating to me

Well we went upstairs,
I put some music on,
I would have made 
a genius D.J. , my
sense of music so profound

She took her shoes off,
laid on the floor,
right next to me,
Started to tell me
she had made a mistake
with me she wanted to be...

Now there's no way
I'd ever trust this girl,
She broke my heart,
And now she'd unfurl,
This tale of her deep woe,

I listened very skeptical,
Would not say what she
longed to hear,
I had no longer trust,
in her words,
Her promises I did fear,

Well, after two hours
of trying,
To melt my still stung heart,
She realized it was time,
Yes, time for her to depart

She called a cab,
and soon enough, 
he was waiting at the door,
I walked her out into the
hallway, what to do,
I was so unsure,

Something seized my heart,
I knew this time was cast,
The words or deeds, said now,
Would be the ones that last,

Almost without thinking,
In the darkened hallway now,
I drew her close to me,
Don't know why or how,
I held her and tenderly
gave her, a slow passionate kiss,
I didn't know why I did this,
For sure, she could not too,
It was so counter to the evening,
But one thing I will tell you,
She kissed me back with passion,
The emotion I surely did not miss,
For but that one bittersweet moment,
The world had changed somehow,
She once again became
the woman,
I'd loved so well and now,
It may have meant hello,
It may have meant goodbye,
But so pure and unthought emotion,
That moment it did not lie.

She slipped away,
into the night....
That was to be our last kiss,
To this day, I wonder,
What it was , I might forever miss.

this is a true story
