The Secret Romance
Inspired by and dedicated to - a friend who taught me that love fantasies can come true…….so I took a few notes to share with all of you.
This is a story of a secret romance
That came to be only by chance
Of a couple passing through
The same steps of life a time or two
A good looking gallant man was he
And she was filled with lots of beauty
I saw them a few times as they met
They didn’t see me and I didn’t tell them yet
It started with a visit reminiscing about the past
Of times they spent together sharing joyful laughs
They never planned for it to ever be
More than being just a bit over friendly
They both had someone else in their life
A significant other, a husband or wife
The romance they had was never planned
It was simply something that just happened
They had a secret place in a faraway land
And seemed to be happy just holding hands
Nature surrounded them almost magically
I think I even saw them talking to a tree
I couldn’t tell if it really talked back
But they nodded as if it did interact
As they moseyed in the grass so green
I could actually hear every bird sing
They sat upon a bench on a little hilltop
Hugging and kissing and just wouldn’t stop
They seemed to carry a special spark
For one another in each other’s heart
In the distance stood a tower with a bell
It rang so loud it was almost like a big yell
They both jumped up to go their separate ways
But knowing they would meet on another day
I don’t know how long this secret romance will be
So I’ll try to take notes for a future documentary
