FORTY DAYS & FORTY NIGHTS by Fiona Goodwin

The day we met,
I was wearing blue nail varnish, shy
Not quite sure of myself
We were both taking a chance

But as happens in love affairs
It can go either way
Your warmth, your seeing me so fully,
Made me linger, take another look

and then I was hooked.
The blue gels came off
The mask went on and then off
And now we are here
40 days and 40 nights
