(with apologies to Mills and Boon)
i guess i gave you up for a few hours just because i am so happy, and you
are almost too good to be true, but i am hungry for you like the wolf and you
have bewitched this man with your powers of attraction and now i chase you
and you try to run but i am too strong and fast and i have cornered you and
taken you in my passionate embrace and french kissed your lingering private
doubts away. i hypnotise you now and place you down in my queen size bed
and lay lady lay all night until morn and you know now that you have only ever
loved me and that i loved you since the beginning of time, forever and ever
i love you!
(For Lola, who murdered our ‘really fulfilling’ ‘internet love’
with financial demands!)
(Such is life!)
(I guess this was ‘hands on’ dating experience for me)
