Oh, thinking about all our younger years
There was only you and me,
We were young and wild and free
Now, nothing can take you away from me
We've been down that road before
But that's over now, you keep me comin' back for more *
[*Heaven, Bryan Adams]
So much as happened since the column The Boss's Wife was originally published (February 28, 2003/BW). Andrea** and David** -- after ten years of complete and total separation -- even though they had both tried throughout the years to find each other again -- have finally reconnected; at least via telephone and the internet. And, so much has happened in those ten years that they have been apart; but their feelings haven't changed for one another, unless you choose to say that their feelings have somehow grown stronger over the years.
Oh, once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you're feeling down
Yeah, nothing could change what you mean to me
Oh there's lots that I could say
But just hold me now, 'cause our love will light the way *
[*Heaven, Bryan Adams]
Andrea and David are currently living approximately 500 miles apart. Andrea is still married. David is twice divorced and presently remarried again. The lifestyles and socio-economic differences are even more blatantly obvious now, and then there is that nasty little age difference that is compounded by the addition of ten extra years of lost time.
One of a kind love affair is
The kind of love that you read about in a fairy tale
Like the sun that shines on a rainy day
It's a cloud of love
One of a kind love affair is
When your down is up and your up is down but love stays around
And when you know you're right but you got to make
A little sacrifice
You make it for love whoa-oh yeah ***
[***One Of A Kind (Love Affair), Spinners]
But, are ANY of these "roadblocks" making a bit of difference to Andrea and David? No! They're making plans to visit one another at least one time each during the summer and, beyond that, to take things "one-day-at-a-time." And who are we to criticize -- to "cast-stones," as it were? They make each other happy. They bring a real happiness into each other's life that is otherwise missing. To hear each of them bubbling over with giddy emotions just talking about the other one is contagious! Are we so holy and self-righteous that we can "pass-judgment" on two people who deserve a little happiness? I, for one, am not going to "cast-the-first-stone," as I know my own life is not without guilt of its own. In fact, if truth be known, I'm more than a little jealous of a love so strong, so deep, and so long-lasting . . .
It stills feels like our first night together
Feels like the first kiss
And it's getting better, baby
No one can better this
Still holding on
Your still the one
First time our eyes met
Same feeling I get
Only feels much stronger
Only love you longer
You still turn the fire on
So, if you're feeling lonely ... don't
You're the only one I ever want
I only wanna make it good
So, if I love you a little more than I should
Please forgive me; I know not what I do
Please forgive me; I can't stop loving you
Don't deny me, this pain I'm going through
Please forgive me; I need you like I do
Oh believe me, every word I say is true
Please forgive me; I can't stop loving you
Still feels like our best times are together
Feels like the first touch
Still getting closer baby
Can't get close enough
Still holding on
You're still number one
I remember the smell of your skin
I remember everything
I remember all of your moves
I remember you, yeah
I remember the nights; you know I still do
The one thing I'm sure of
Is the way we make love
The one thing I depend on
Is for us to stay strong
With every word and every breath I'm praying
That's why I'm saying
Please forgive me; I know not what I do
Please forgive me; I can't stop loving you
Don't deny me, this pain I'm going through
Please forgive me, if I need you like I do
Babe, believe me, every word I say is true
Please forgive me, if I can't stop loving you
No, believe me, I don't know what I do
Please forgive me; I can't stop loving you
Can't stop loving you.... ****
