I can't fight this feeling
haunts me even still.
Hearing it brings him to mind,
and yes, his name was Phil.
It was not our song,you see,
for we were in the past.
It was for his next love,
how he hoped it would last.
I was there that wedding day,
late in the month of June.
I knew her doubts and bit my tongue
and cried all afternoon.
She didn't love him like she should.
I begged her to back out.
She loved another as her mate,
a girl without a doubt.
But they married on that day,
his wishes had come true.
Two months later it was me,
he came rushing to.
Didn't tell him,even still,
with his eyes so filled with pain.
Couldn't shatter all his dreams,
my heart did not refrain.
Knowing what I did of her,
and not betraying her trust.
I did all that a friend could do,
I gave into the lust.
Became the other woman,
while lying all the while.
Listened to her secret life,
managed to even smile.
I can't fight this feeling,
rattles me to this day.
Bringing to mind the memory,
and my sinful way.

Alright,I don't any grief from anyone in regard to my actions some 15yrs ago....it is true,all of it. They divorced,I just told her about it all a few months back...she didn't have a clue. I still speak with him & he has finally let go of the fact that I didn't tell him....
