Decisions

Last night my wife told me
She had stopped seeing her lover
I knew that she had, and now
I know what she wants me to say

I will give up my other love
That we'll go back to yesterday's ways
We were both so completely married
So exclusively owned and devoted.

Can't she see how my heart has been opened?
How I stand taller, and stronger, more sure?
How much this new one has changed me,
Seeing me with such loving eyes?

I'm a man and I will do the right thing
And I continue to love my dear wife
I'll make sure she has no need to worry
We'll continue to grow older together

But I will also keep growing my new love
I will not go back into the harness
I will not bend to the rules of tradition
As I've re-tasted such romance and passion

Now, she needs to make a decision.
Will she accept what it is that I offer?
The security of my love and commitment
with the knowledge it is not hers alone?
