You turned away from me in our bed

the tension so strong!

I knew it was nothing that I had said

our relationship felt wrong.

Smelling that perfume on your skin

doubt hit me within!

Always late coming home from your job

deep in my heart I knew.

I laid there trying so hard not to sob

intuition came through.

Nothing for it but to confront you

admitting the affair was true!

After twenty two years so hard to take

we stayed friends for the kids sake1
