A Momentary lapse in Reason


An old truck, Two old souls, A shared moment, On an old dusty road. A cold night, Deep in contrast, With the two warm bodies, Forging what shouldn't be cast. A tight hug, That lasted too long, Leads to a moment, That's much too strong. A kiss, Too sweet, How can it be so wrong? And yet once more we meet. A friend, Whom never was more, Yet after that moment, She's been quite a bore. Is it regret? For the rules that we broke? Or perhaps that it happened at all?
