afterwards I noticed venecia in contemplation
something deep .. heavy .. was on her mind
her face buried in my chest .. she confessed
missing her son .. not wanting her husband
I took all of it in with a grain of sand
encouraged her .. she's right to raise her son
hell, I ain't no homewrecker .. never have been
drying her eyes .. she asked what will I do now
I replied i'm not sure yet i'll move on somewhere
next day .. viola went to work
I dropped her off .. kept her car all day
soon met venecia down at native's creek
we walked some of the old native's trails
reached the nearest sand bar .. drank beer
discussed our past months of torment
we'd all lived in the snowy rocky mountains
how it began feeling good getting off coke
warming sun rose .. peaked high in the sky
spring was upon us not a moment too soon
we took our clothes off .. relaxed
drank a few more beers apiece
reminisced .. related what could have been
God knows we're both far .. far from perfect
passionately we began kissing one another
another day .. one more sin to remember
we kissed .. caressed for hours on end
I took her there .. where she'd never been
she whispered .. begging me to please her
it wasn't very long .. she begged me to stop
pushing me onto my back
in the squishy yielding sand
she got on top .. nervously
rode me until I screamed
hot .. panting .. sweating .. she collapsed
our plans changed but not our hearts
we whispered I love you to one another
knowing this was our goodbye forever
with regret .. slowly, gently we parted
tears glistening in our swollen eyes
