A Secret Satisfied

Met a friend at a hotel for lunch one day. Our talk led to old stories and the laughter that follows when we recall youthful adventures. She suggested a game, just like back then, to relive those days without the rules of age or marriage. We locked ourselves in her room. I felt young again. Played out my fantasies with her, exploring every secret longing from years ago. She was incredible. But it ended as suddenly as it began when we dressed and said goodbye like strangers. Kept that day hidden, a treasure only to be shared between us.
