Lightning Flashed

So far away, so near to touch
So, wanting to touch, so out of reach
This mess is getting too much
Is it time we both made a speech?

We were neighbours and pals
So close, so much fun and laughter
But that day by the canals
Nothing was ever the same after

The kiss was a friendly peck on the cheek
But our lips met, and lightning flashed
Why did neither of us speak
With that kiss our marriages crashed

How hard it has been playing a role
Always seeking stolen moments
Both fighting our self-control
Will we ever be able to seek atonement?

We want to scream to the sky
Expressing our love, so strong
A love so hard to deny
We know but don’t care it’s wrong.
