DEAR JOHN

by Natalie - Cancer

Only few have been the months
The beginning only sex.
Attraction and passion 
Excitement in each touch and kiss.

Together for selfish, instant gratification 
Commitment, love, we would have none.
We feel comfortable in our new role
It is easy and fun.

Communication is frequent
True emotions forbidden.
Past experiences told - And little of who we are now
Some things forever hidden.

Us is not an option
Lacking of significance and respect.
Acceptance of our fear
But fooling ourselves in every aspect.

Easy my love is not
Nor is it free.
I have grown within  
I made a promise to not repeat history.

Our first encounter of lust
I spoke of this.
Maturity and sophistication - To myself be true
Not heartbroken or malice.

My emotions are strong
Disregard them I tried.
Easily I enjoy you
Knowing the man inside.

I am worthy the ending of a fairy tale
Yet you are unwilling to try.
Special gifts you have many - I adore much of  you
And to play the game makes me cry.

Keeping my promise
I will not fall.
A man true to himself
Who cannot give his all.

So now I release myself - With no regrets
Of the time spent in darkness and dawn.
Do remember me - As I will cherish you always
Dear John.
