PASSING THROUGH

You thought you were just passing through

Looking for something lost

Somewhere in the darkness

You will recall…

Her scent lingers in your memory,

The touch of her hands on your skin,

The longing in her words

And the craziness of her thoughts.

Temptation calls to stay awhile

But you are bound to another

It wrenches at your soul

You doubt and feel the guilt.

You must go

But hold her memory close

For she loved you dearly.
