A decade

You found me at a bad time

Around a decade from today

Gulping in the greenery

You asked about my ways

 

Our rivalry emerged from ice

Broken by heated encounters

That thrived off of deprivation of thought

That was lost when your purity faltered

 

Aside, we weren't the only ones

Caught up in illicit lust

But once brought out of the house

Daylight overshadowed the cup

 

By then, I'd learnt of your betrayal

Is it just to say so, or vile?

I know I'm also to blame

And though I hid it, it hurt for a while

 

We just can't seem to let go.

Hidden, but still something worth living

From foreign farewells to confessions

It was better, how you had me feeling

 

The dusk turned to dawn in the sky

The phrase to an oral, heart-felt letter

The room to a house, a drive, a loon

The twice-a-season to forever.
