Can I Do This?

Can I really do this?
Will I really go
To meet him at the local motel
And "make love" with him?

What will happen if we are caught?
How many lives will we destroy?
Will I lose the friendship
That I have come to cherish?

We have discussed it for months;
Fantasized about it
Till the wee hours of the morning,
But will it ever really happen?

He has been my confidant
Through many lovers.
He has offered his opinion
And lent a caring ear.

I have begun to rely on him;
To crave his voice,
Even if we talk of nothing
But kids and work and such.

Does it matter that I may never know
What it is like to lie in his arms?
Is it not better to live in fantasy
Than to experience it and crush us all?
