A touch soft and tender
A whisper filled with desire
A gasp of sweet surrender
As passion fuels the fire

No words spoken between them
No promises to be kept
No lies being told tonight
No looking back with regret

Longing to hold each other
Such precious little time
Both vowed to another
Being lonely their only crime

Tomorrow bringing sadness
A brief moment of shame
The memory of this one night
A release from passion’s flames
