Confusion of Love

Happiness melding with desire,
Hearts thumping,
Bodies responding to the intensity.

Kisses that bruise their lips,
Prominent lovebites on their necks,
And other places as well.

Only one night together,
It isn't enough,
They keep going.

Interrupted by friends,
Stopped by stares,
They just don't care.

The only thing stopping them from going all the way,
Is the fact that it's time to go home,
And they had no condoms anyway.

Never destined to be together,
The distance between them too great,
They look forward to the next time.

Only going to see each other one more time,
At a friend's birthday party,
Then he says goodbye to everyone.

Goodbye to his step-brother,
Goodbye to his girl,
Going home from Newport to Carlisle.
