The signals were loud and clear
I was ready to ditch what was dear
at the tarmac close and near
our last embrace without much cheer.

One month in close quarters we traveled
sometimes feeling like sardines in a can
with each other we were not bedazzled
despite in unison we stayed no one ran.

After her arrival letters began to flow
imperfect behavoir acknowledged
apologies accepted it was not meant to be so
damage repaired we were encouraged.

Moods changed feelings regained
our mail now hot to lust
engage full engine reverse thrust
our emotions stabilized reprieve attained.
