She was beautiful, with long dark hair and piercing blue eyes. She was wearing a wedding ring, but that didn&#8217;t stop me from being drawn to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I started to see her around town more and more. We would always make eye contact, and I could tell that she was attracted to me too. But she was married, and I knew that I shouldn&#8217;t do anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One day, I saw her walking her dog in the park. I decided to go up to her and talk to her. We talked for a while, and I found out that her name was Sarah. She told me that she was married, but that her husband was always working and they didn&#8217;t have much of a relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I felt a pang of guilt, but I couldn&#8217;t help but be drawn to her. We started spending more time together, and I soon realized that I was in love with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I knew that it was wrong, but I couldn&#8217;t help myself. I wanted her. I wanted her more than anything in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One night, we kissed. It was the most amazing feeling in the world. I knew that I had to have her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We started an affair, and it was everything I had ever dreamed of. She was everything I had ever wanted in a woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I knew that it couldn&#8217;t last. She was married, and I didn&#8217;t want to ruin her life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I ended the affair. It was the hardest thing I&#8217;ve ever done, but I knew it was the right thing to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I still think about her sometimes. I wonder what could have been if she wasn&#8217;t married. But I know that it&#8217;s better this way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I first saw her at the grocery store. She was beautiful, with long dark hair and piercing blue eyes.
