Jim never got over Sue
Nor she him
The big mistake occurred so long ago
But that’s the way it is
Lovers with an abiding spirit
They still share today
But they can’t be together
Such a shame, no way
I’ll avoid the specifics
But fate and circumstance play the leads
Conspiring to prevent their consummation
Only memories now struggle to meet their needs
They can only do so much
They’re no salve
There is no solution
Not for this love
