An Affair That Never Happened

An Affair That Never Happened
© 2009 Susan Renee’

(VERSE)
You entered my mind today
No reason and no rhyme,
I tried to push the thoughts away
But they came back each time.
I’m trying to forget you
I’m trying to pretend
You never crossed the line between my lover and my friend.

(CHORUS)
It’s an affair that never happened.
A love we never made.
A chapter never written.
A game we never played.
A song without a melody.
It isn't hard to see,
A story with no ending
is the tale of you and me.

(VERSE)
If only it were easy
to turn and walk away
If only there was nothing
left for us to say
but like unfinished business
the tension of one night
keeps building ever stronger and closure’s not in sight.

(CHORUS)
It’s an affair that never happened.
A love we never made.
A chapter never written.
A game we never played.
A song without a melody.
It isn't hard to see,
A story with no ending
is the tale of you and me.
(BRIDGE)
We never let ourselves connect completely
The unknown holds our hearts at bay,
I wonder if we made love discretely
Would it be easier to walk away?
(CHORUS)
From an affair that never happened.
A love we never made.
A chapter never written.
A game we never played.
A song without a melody.
I wonder can they see?
This story with no ending...
the tale of you and me.

An affair that never happened... at least not physically.
