Irony
Irony
On the seashore, we had a date
To talk things over without haste
Tough decisions we'd have to make
That would upset our respective mates
With trepidation, we walked to meet
Stolen moments from eyes unseen
Bare our hearts, confess our love
Got truncated right from the start
Friends we were from school days
Lovers became along the way
Promised adulthood would wed
Fate intervened we had to separate
Two decades post marriage
Bumped into each other at a fete
Eyes met, love, rekindled
Stuck with our commitments
Our secret rendezvous no one knew
We declared our love anew
Under the gaze of stars and moon
Decided not to break our homes
This life fate had kept us apart
Would not let it happen next birth.
