It was friction free,
did we slip into love?
Could this be;
what could I be thinking of?
It was at a neighbor’s party,
she was a friend of a friend.
Someone was being arty.
Our winks met in a condescend.
We flirted.
Her eyes were warm and knowing.
Our partners were averted.
Latent passions were growing.
I felt a primal urge.
There was something ****** in her smile.
My pulse began to surge.
It was wonderfully juvenile.
I embraced her laugh.
I envisioned her lovely body.
I guiltily checked for my other half.
Was this something suddenly shoddy?
It was getting too strong.
Was there a turning back?
We probably both knew it was wrong,
but we were on greased track.
Our partners found us.
Did they notice our tête-à-tête?
If they did there was no fuss.
We all agreed the party was great.
I still think of her
and what might have been.
Was it the gin?
Was it a sin?
Is this just how random lives spin?
