Another Time, Another Place

A part-time lover,
That’s who I am,
A mistress a concubine,
That is the plan.

I am the other woman,
Hidden away that’s me,
But maybe things would be different,
If we were both free.

I wish you were here always,
Lying in my bed,
But that’s not reality,
And not what we both said.

My arm’s they ache to hold you,
But I know this can not be,
Only when it’s convenient,
And no one else can see.

 How much am I supposed to give,
How much love can I take,
I’m here sobbing on my pillow,
But went into this wide awake.

 In another time and another place,
A different world maybe,
We could be together,
For everyone to see.
