The Confession

Last evening, my darling came to me, Burdened with anguish and fears; It saddened me to see his pain, When I kissed him, I tasted tears I held him so very close to me, Trying to ease his distress; He hesitated, and then he spoke, He had something he must confess With tear-filled eyes he looked at me, And I knew he had been untrue; A flirtatious girl attracted him, And he did what most men would do O Lord, I had to forgive him, Though my heart was broken in two; We all make mistakes, we must forgive, And I did what few women do I could not turn away from him, I felt his pain and his fears; I told him I'd forgive and forget, When we kissed, we both tasted tears As the crimson sun was setting, The peace of night descended; A guilty heart found sweet repose, And a shattered heart was mended A dove of purest white flew by, Straight from heaven, or so it seems; In each other's arms we fell asleep, And then we made love in our dreams
