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

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