It was elegant.
It was perfect.
It was quick and sweet
and it lacked all the typical messiness
of a longer affair.
It ended
right at the start.

We weren’t good for each other
in the long run
that was clear
so we found what solace we could offer
and then parted.
For one wonderful night
we were one
at home
and then
the house divided.

It was good.
It was fine.
It was excellent.
We left with good wishes
and amazing memories
and I wouldn’t change a thing
except return to the scene
and stay long enough
for it to get messy.
