He was on shore leave
His ship berthed at his homeport
His old flame waiting
She was seen crying
Why love, let us have a fling
I need some hugging!
You did remember?
Before I left we
had fun
Not having the same?
No, just a dream, you
need four hands to wrap around
of what I now am

Awww... sometimes love just has a way of dying if it is left neglected for too long. Just a dream makes it sad.

ReplyDeleteLike a plant, it must be watered... love the comparison to Marilyn's pic!
ReplyDeleteYes it wasn't just the love that had grown!
