The Reason Why
Staring through the misty window I can picture your face
I remember our nights filled with satin and lace
Rain on the window flows past my eye
I cherish the good times and gently I cry
Our days together are now dreams of the past
Knew our relationship was destined not to last
Stolen moments, secret kisses are frozen in time
You belonged to another and could never be mine
Our passionate encounters were based purely on lust
In becoming your mistress we broke your wife's trust
You sought solace in my arms when your baby died
Sobbing bitter tears which from your wife you'd tried to hide
Never told you the reason why I upped and left
I had a hidden secret, once told you'd be bereft
Had to break free, this decision was wise
I now look at our newborn son - he has his daddy's eyes.
