The Lovers (part One)

Airport torture. Patience! Wait! The

Tannoy shouts you've just arrived and fingers

Tap and eyes are strained - they wander through

The queue for recognition. Soon we'll be together - sharing

Secrets. Share a scarf...... and share a little heaven. Again. ...

Kisses over breakfast. Touching souls and swapping wishes.

The coffee's cold - you washed the dishes - shared a cigarette

And time to go. We took the train - still clutching.

We smiled as others looked away....then looked again...

Hands across the table - tasting tears and linking

Fingers. Case is packed but we'll still linger `til

Our time is up. Soon we'll just be swapping letters,

Crying down the telephone. We'll wish away the seconds

`til the story starts again...............
