Analysis of Two In One
Royston 1946 (Reading)
I am a man with two lovers in my life.
One is my mistress and the other my wife.
The wonder of it all that makes it such fun.
Is that both these women are combined in one.
For this amazing woman is my best friend
and God's will for us turned out best in the end.
Thank you my dear for being my lovely wife.
and also being the mistress of my life.
Written after I had mistakenly bought two Valentine cards instead of a Valentines card and a birthday card.
We had also been to the cinema to see the film
“Valentines Day” where one of the main characters was being unfaithful and had both a mistress and a wife.
