The
first day that I saw you
My heart was set aflame
I knew then that I loved you
And hoped you felt the same
The first time that you spoke to me
I was too nervous to reply
But you brushed away my silly fear
And stopped me feeling shy
My eyes were then, for only you
My dearest love of life
Although you never spoke those words
That would let me be your wife
You went through a phase of many loves
But not once did you turn to me
Thinking of me as just a friend
My love, you could never see
But at last that time came to be
When you finally loved me true
But many years had flown by then
And I loved another too
He loved me well (so unlike you!)
That I’d come to love him dear
Though without your looks or wit, my dear
I knew that he would always stay near
With tears in eyes, you begged me long
To love you well and always stay
Near to you, the way you’d always done?
I turned and walked away.
