No! she said, I've got a lover/husband
although he's very far away
but I kissed her on the forehead
lightly as in play

and she said that's OK

No! she said, my love is true to me
and I'll be true to he.
But then I helped her with her boots
and touched her knee

and she said that's all right with me

Now I hold her hand
and wipe away the tears
as she sits wondering
where went the years
