Afterthoughts

Perhaps it was your playful spirit
that caught my attention.
The hope of finding a friend
outside of my gilded cage
that I could confide in and be myself with.

Playfullness led to flirting
Flirting led to honesty
Honesty led to desire

We crossed no lines
We committed no sins
But a part of me knows better
My heart strayed

My mind thought of nothing else but you
The passions we might share
My heart would leap every time
I caught your way of looking at me;
like admiring a fine work of art.

What might I do should I see you again?
Be overcome with rapture?
Smother you with kisses?
Could I control myself?

.....I don't think I'd want to.
