An Affair
Have you ever found comfort in the arms of a lover, but had to accept that they belonged to another?
Have you ever felt emotions for someone that you had to contain till they were able to break free of their current restraints?
I've never been jealous or felt so alone until the one that I loved had to go home to a man in which she was currently engaged in with a marriage, a family, and a lifestyle she hated. She told me she cared about me and asked me to be patient and wait for the day we could have true relations.
But how does one cope when they feel so alone because they cant even talk to their life on the phone.
I guess all I can do is sit here and wait, be strong and try to fight through the pain that grows deeper and more intense on each passing day because she said we'll be together and in her I have faith.
