The letters we write
sleep together at night.
a man
and a woman -
we'd watch and we'd blush
at the way that they rush
to discard their fashion
in a frenzy of passion.
so...
it's annoying to think
that we share a drink,
a meal, a smoke,
a candle, a joke,
a secret, a tale,
but totally fail...
...utterly miss..
that moment to kiss
