We Almost Got Caught Poem by Ramona Thompson

Do you have any idea how close we came today?
I thought that I told you to be more careful
Now we have to change and rearrange everything
Unless you want her to know
Keep it simple
Keep it on the downlow
That was the deal
Don't you remember?

I've made up a new screename
Meet me at the usual place online
I'll give to you there
And this time please be a little more discreet
Don't let your mousy, nosy little wife go digging through around again
I could lose a lot and so could you
If she ever stumbles onto our secret
Just please keep that in mind, ok?

I'm not asking for much
Just a little respect for the secret other woman in your life
She can't know about me
I don't wanna hear about her
Not now
Not ever
No ifs ands or buts about it
This lie stays just between the two of us

Its not gonna last forever
Its only a temporary physical comfort
Just a little something extra
To get us both through our too harsh realities
Our all too troubled marriages
You don't love me
And I certainly don't love you
End of story
