Nuts

I question my own sanity, the last
To do so, I suppose. For this, I've
Waited two long weeks: the sight
Of her, a couple minutes, something
So intangible, unspeakable? No one
Must know. Her mother looms.
The others see. Her boyfriend's
Somewhere in the wings, as is my
Wife. All I can do is visit her when
No one's looking, let her know, as
Best I can, that even minutes with
Her make me happier than countless
Hours I'd endure with someone else,
And there's no doubt I am insane, but
I see how she looks at me. I see her
Straitened situation, dream that,
Sometime, in some future, I will lead
Her out of sight of all these eyes, and
We will be, at last, what we had hoped
To be, not for but a couple minutes,
For eternity.
