It was suggested that this may be suitable for a song, so I have added a refrain:
Stolen moments
Stolen moments
are all we have
My resolve cave
Only stolen moments

Stolen Moments
Your key does not fit the door.
We cannot meet anymore.
I have tried to say 'Goodbye',
but you will be the one to try
and keep this pledge as before.
The champagne stood chilled,
ready for our glasses to be filled.
The lights are turned down low
and the music playing is very slow.
This last meeting by me willed.
The coded knock on the door
signalled me to quickly pour
the glasses to half measure.
I let in my life's treasure.
Your presence fills my very core.
Our bodies hungrily entwine
fuelled by the ample wine.
Passions are riding high
as you finally say, 'Goodbye.'
I know that you will always be mine.

Well thought out piece of writing. Has the theme of an
Illicit love or impossible relationship that can only survive
for brief intervals.
