On Losing a Lover

"I was not expecting my first submission to be this...my reaction to a recent experience."

We moved our fantasies to reality,

Fulfilled our wildest dreams.

Loved, laughed and loved again.

A time filled with joy and delight.

It was always just sex we said,

We lived a life less ordinary.

But too soon the phone call came,

You decided to once again

Become the man you were.

I said all the right things

But choked on the word goodbye.

The tears flowed silently down my cheeks.

Then I realised…

I was not sad because I was losing a lover.

I was sad because I was losing a friend.
