[hometext] => One Night Of Passion Is All It Takes.......
[bodytext] => You cannot now but be afraid Of all that you might lose, And curse the granite circumstance That forces you to choose. You are too young, a child yourself, As I am, too, and yet There is a child between us, whom We cannot just forget. This child - our child - has no one else To be its only father. Others may be guardians, But you can be no other. This fact will not relent, though battered Hard by bitter tears. Time moves only forward as Our yearnings turn to years. And everything we've wanted turns To what we must accept, And what we'd least relinquish comes From what we most regret. I do not ask to live with you Or ever be your wife; Only that you share the gift And burden of a life That waits upon your willing love To greet its upturned face That it might twist your heart with joy And unimagined grace We are going to have to get along, put aside greed and satisfaction, we are now forced to put our lives on hold because of one night of passion.
