One Night In September

by harrydog   Sep 5, 2006


It happened one night in September
I hope you'll always remember
I prayed that you would come out for a drink
Cause when I saw you my heart began to sink
Because I thought you didn't want me, you wanted another
I really thought you wanted my brother

As the evening wore on the closer we became
And I could feel the beginning of a flame
I rubbed my hand up and down your back
And I was surprised because I didn't think I still had the knack
You see I'm overweight and I'm really not beautiful
And you're the gorgeous woman who is absolutely wonderful

We kissed and cuddled and I held you tight
Oh my god this was a memorable night
I never wanted the evening to end
But I had to go home to my wife and pretend
That I was sorry I hadn't rung, and was late
But how could I tell her that I had found my soul mate

So we met up on Saturday with the best intentions at heart
But how were we to know we were right at the start
Of something so special, so amazing
All I could feel was my heart aching
When you got out of my car with tears in your eyes
I wanted to call after you but thought that it wouldn't be wise

So I spent all Monday looking at my phone
I was lost in my thoughts totally alone
When all of a sudden I received a text
And I wondered what was going to happen next
I've had change of heart can I change my mind you said
I was so happy all I could think was all the times ahead

So began our wondrous affair
We both knew it was wrong but we didn't care
We texted, we called, we talked when time allowed
We were both at work so had to talk through the crowds
We met on Tuesdays in my uncomfortable car
To kiss and to cuddle and look at the stars

Slowly but surely I was falling in love
With a wondrous woman who must be an angel from above
I knew it was wrong as we were both married
But this was a burden that we both carried
As time wore on the harder it got
To be away from one another we could not

So we spent a weekend in Windsor in view of the queen
Oh what a wonderful weekend it could have been
But alas it wasn’t to be
Cause I it was a strange time for you and me
But baby don’t worry it wasn’t you
It was just that all of this was so new

One day in November I went to the rugby
It was England Australia that I went to see
Whilst watching the match I received a fab message
It was a photo of you and of you cleavage
Oh how I smiled and thought god she’s amazing
All I could feel again was my heart aching

So we arranged to meet after the match at the station
There you were in you car, you wouldn’t believe my elation
We went to the woods where you sat astride me
The feeling I had for you made me want to scream like a banshee
I love you my angel, you truly are wonderful
Amazing, gorgeous sexy and beautiful

Just before Christmas I spent the first weekend at your house
But unfortunately I had to be as quiet as a mouse
But we played with each other and Thomas your baby
How perfect it felt and I began to think just maybe?
That I could be with you for the rest of life
And that one day you may even be my wife

We watched some TV, and had a curry
We had so much time alone; we didn't need to hurry
We looked at each other, it felt so right
As we held each other through the night
We went up the stairs and to your bed
It would be the place where we would lay our heads

We undressed so slowly; we were going to make love
I wanted to make you feel special, my real true love
We touched, we fondled, we kissed, and we played
Oh my darling in your bed I could have stayed
We fell asleep in each other's arms
Protected from the world and from any harm

When I woke the next morning, I looked to my right
This beautiful angel beside me, my god what a site
So peaceful, so pure, so loving, so true
My darling Catherine if only you knew
My feelings for you were out of control
You had my mind, my heart my body and soul

So along came a New Year and challenges ahead
& I spent another weekend in you bed
To Canterbury we went to see the sights and sounds
Where history was made and wonders abound
But there was nothing as stunning as you on my arm
I wanted to keep you safe and away from harm

Back home we went to spend the evening together
To listen to music, to watch TV, and make love to each other
We made love it was so special, so moving
I must admit I actually thought that I was improving
But when you play with fire consequences occur
And after that day our whole world turned into a blur

You didn't say but I guessed what you had done
That morning at the hospital I wish it could be undone
I just wish you had told me I could have supported you
This wasn't something you alone could see through
By giving up our babies you went against everything you believed in
I shouldn't have left you to face it alone and take it on the chin

Was this the turning point for everything we had?
Suddenly everything seemed so real and things began to turn bad
You asked me to leave, to walk away and to let you be
But I couldn't do that cause I was so in love with thee
But alas you can't see me now for a while
Whilst I make up my mind whether I should leave my wife and child

I will always remember 'this time' our first kiss
Cause since that night my heart has been a miss
It's yours now & forever and ever
I have no regrets not now not ever
I love you babe you are etched on my heart
I only wish I could find the courage to make a new start.

    A situation indeed ..... a dilemma .... well .... what does one say? Straight from the heart, a well written piece ... but one which I think you shoulod read as a reader not the writer.

    September seems a lonely month, and yet it's the change into Autumn, and the beautiful colours, by contrast, to the vibrance of the summer.. It is my favourite season.. How much difference a year can make. New starts, and old endings. You made a great attempt with this poem, and I am sure the person it is written for has thought many times about all that you remember.. Well done.

    Thankyou for my comment.. Perhaps you should write more poems, so I can return the favour.. xx
