John and Jane Doe
We don't know each other
how our lives intertwine
a mystery to remain unsolved
and forever lost to time
He's John, and I'm Jane
Very ordinary common names
Met on an elevator ride
Standing close side by side
History has yet to be written
The present is what we're given
There could be a ring
on our fingers, and yet, tonight
this is not the question that lingers
Will he stay away
This is just for a night
A release to take the edge off
A release we both need tonight
Not all women are the same.
Emotions do not have to enter this game
If I am cold, all the better
You would never receive a Dear John letter
Codes are in place for a reason
To break it feels like treason
I know what you like
Imprinted it to memory
But open your mouth, and it is the end of we
Secret Lover’s was a song.
Did they know that we would come along
In hindsight, this should not be
Yet I crave you
Like I crave air to breath
how our lives intertwine
a mystery to remain unsolved
and forever lost to time
He's John, and I'm Jane
Very ordinary common names
Met on an elevator ride
Standing close side by side
History has yet to be written
The present is what we're given
There could be a ring
on our fingers, and yet, tonight
this is not the question that lingers
Will he stay away
This is just for a night
A release to take the edge off
A release we both need tonight
Not all women are the same.
Emotions do not have to enter this game
If I am cold, all the better
You would never receive a Dear John letter
Codes are in place for a reason
To break it feels like treason
I know what you like
Imprinted it to memory
But open your mouth, and it is the end of we
Secret Lover’s was a song.
Did they know that we would come along
In hindsight, this should not be
Yet I crave you
Like I crave air to breath

Reads to me like an adaptation of Noel Coward's play/movie story Brief Encounter but the couple meet on an elevator (not at a railway station) and satisfy their desires with a speed of timescale typical more of the Tinder generation than Coward's.

It was made into a movie (1940s) starring the late Trevor Howard and Celia Johnston as the protagonists.

your beautifully Ink captures the complexity of a fleeting relationship between two strangers. Images of passion and recognition of boundaries evoke a poignant sense of longing, making this exploration of a secret romance both relatable and profound. Your poem leaves us pondering the nature of intimacy and the mysteries that linger in the spaces between people. Well done.

"You would never receive a Dear John letter" > this line made me chuckle.
Can't imagine writing a Dear John letter 😂
You are so right, not all women are the same, even though something casual is not my thing.

"Yet I crave you, like I crave air to breathe."
These last handful of words alone speak volumes more about the female character and her needs.
A true poetess.
