Clandestine lovers meet in the dark
Embracing each other
Wishing for a chance at freedom
Tied to those who no longer care
A chance to rekindle an old flame
This meeting is not the first
Hopefully the next one
Can be more visible
To show each other they care
More than they thought they did
Timing was all wrong for them
But maybe the future will hold
A bit of happiness for both of them

He asked me to be there
I couldn’t say no
He asked for my love
I couldn’t say no
He told me it was only
One of those things
You read about in novels
The loveless life
The broken hearts
And the longing for an old flame
He asked me to be there
I couldn’t say no
He asked for my love
I couldn’t say no
We once were lovers
And now dear friends
But the lines would blur
That early September morning
When he felt lost
And I took a risk
He asked me to be there
I couldn’t say no
He asked for my love
I couldn’t say no
Sharing a moment
That will forever be
Held in my heart
Like a fantasy
One day
One chance
He asked me to be there
I didn’t say no
He asked for my love
I didn’t say no
Because I love him
(I love him so)
(I love him)

I want to put an ad
In the classifieds
One under the lost and found
To find my lost pride
I feel like such a failure
used up and forgotten
no one would want me now
to them I must seem rotten
I am just down in the dumps
After seeing an old flame
Who stirred me deep inside
But it seems I didn’t do the same
But damn it was good to see him
In spite of him moving on
And deep inside I learned
My love for him is still strong

Her phone went off and it was a text from him. A love from her past that she considered a good friend now. He was coming through town and wanted to see her to talk over coffee.
She was now in a relationship but thought nothing of meeting a friend. He started into his old ways of flirting. It made her both flattered and scared. He had been the one to break it off and there were still feelings there. It made her wonder if this was just meeting a friend or was it a tryst with an old flame?
