We share the same cabin while the rest of the passengers sleep. <br /> <br />Jack and Coke for two, we spill out our lives... our love. <br /> <br />Yours lost, mine found. <br /> <br />For the voyage we fall in love and in that cabin the stewards talk about us behind our backs. You tell me I have a special spirit, but I don't believe in such things. I tell you that you amaze me with your tenacity and drive, but you don't believe in such things. <br /> <br />At the end you kiss my hands with tears in your eyes. <br /> <br />No one will wait at the Empire State building. <br /> <br />The entire affair ends when we depart, never repeated except in our memories. <br /> <br />I'll just take my ego for a walk.<br /><br />John Kipling Lewis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-affair-to-remember-2/
