That Night
it finally happened
the night you had promised to the future
for the one man you would spend the
rest of your life with
whom you finally found
a union which finally took
place just recently and all I can do
is think about what happened that night
if it hurt?
if he was like you?
if you enjoyed it and if you look back
on it in the future will you still see it
as being as special as you did while
it was happening?
was he good
or did his lack of experience
with you—because of course I know
nothing about his life before you—
leave him lost?
but of course I can't ask because
besides being bad manners
that would hardly make sense because
I barely know you
