My Secret Love Affair.. Poem by Raina Hutchins

Even though our time is just
A moment here and there
To me you'll never be
The average everyday affair

I know I'm just a picture
In the memory of your mind
The girl you keep a secret
The girl you leave behind

There was a time I'd lay awake
And dream of you and I
There was a time I wanted more
There was a time I'd cry

For love is never easy
When it's given just by one
Love is never easy
When for him it's just for fun

Love is never easy
When you think that it's for real
But when the spell is broken
It's not love, but lust you feel

Your dreams diminish one by one
Illusions fade away
And in their place reality
Has come to have its say

So now I know the secret
To a passionate affair
To just enjoy the moment
To live without a care

To take each moment as it comes
With eyes now open wide
But always with your secret love
You just enjoy the ride...
