A Lesson

She sat and watched him sharing herself like ne'er before
She lay beside him on a green and kissed him gently like ne'er before
In an orange dress and black heels she felt like ne'er before
They sipped drinks while watched from afar
New lovers
They explored for the first time like ne'er before
Leaving his mark on stone then shared a taxi ride like ne'er before
Through turmoil of the past he was by her side
She watched him grow with great pride
Tentative steps discovering desires like ne'er before
Overlooked by Mr O'Higgins it often rained but  she felt sheltered
Her heart broke, blind she had no clue
She shut herself off shunning his hold
Questioning herself not for the first time
Their bond strong it was too hard to desist
Continuing their journey together
A journey of love, discovery and lust
Discovery like ne'er before
A lesson to take from this tale
Follow your heart no matter the pain
You may discover love like ne'er before
