No Shame, No Blame

NO SHAME, NO BLAME

We were never lovers
Because we shared a common love
Neither of us could compromise.
The love that keeps us apart
Kept us together.

Though we shared no intimacies
As the gossips would imagine,
Exchanging cherished moments
We were close in ways
That they will never know.
