Affair 1

She would meet him along the ocean's edge
Each evening as the sun faded into night
In her heart it seemed no wrong, so right
she was fighting her own personal war.

In his arms time did stop
Reality hidden inside  fanciful dreams
It was his image that haunted her dreams
But for the life of her she could not stop.

She tried to tell herself that it was wrong
Wrong to love this man that captured her heart
It was a struggle between conscience and love
But within  she knew there was no future for them.

She knew she had no right to want this so bad
She was another man's wife instead
Regret and longing lay heavily on her breast
Yet, she waited for each evening to arrive.

As the crystaline tears ran down her face
She knew  this love affair had to stop
But how ,when I had been yours from the moment we meet
 Now each dream has to be  like an endless summer's night.
