The special love we once shared
Has gone forever, disintegrated
Smashed into a
thousand pieces
Impossible to
reassemble, beyond repair
Shattered into a
thousand mirrored fragments
Each piece reflecting
back another painfully memory
Stabbing at my heart
like hot needles
Each shard a reminder
of your betrayal
It was love at first sight
When I first saw
Stephanie
That sparkling sprite
Stunning little
Steffie
It may have been her
beautiful face
Wish a rosy blush on
her cheek
She was the most
beautiful creature
I ever held in my arms
It may have been the
fine brown hair
Dancing on her
shoulders
Hair so fine it turned
to fire
In the sunlight
Making a halo on an
angel's head
Possibly it was her
vivaciousness
Or just her small
buttocks
Encased in her dirty jodhpurs
She was simply heart
stoppingly gorgeous
Being in love with her
was joyous,
Being loved by her was
glorious
She would hug me
And bury her head in
my chest
The smell of her hair
was heaven
Her perfume a divine
intoxication
And I would feel her
tremble in my arms
As a tiny bird might
in the palm of your hand
I wanted to keep her safe
Protect her from harm
Then I would kiss the
top of her head
And carry her off to
bed
I loved her so much
But I should have
loved her more
I should have loved
her with a passion
With such depth and
intensity
That God himself
Could not have rent
her from my grasp
But I did not
And my little bird
escaped
How do I know I’m in your heart?
It’s feeling your hand
in mine
And hearing your sighs
It’s a knowing smile
on your face
A glance with libidinous
eyes
And a maiden’s blush
It’s being close to
you
Being alone with you
Even in a crowd
It’s every look and
gesture
It’s in every nuance
Every unsaid word
That tells me I’m in
your heart
I fell in love with you
All those years ago
Because you were
oblivious
You simply didn’t know
You didn’t know
That beauty shone from
every pore
You saw yourself as
odd
But you were no oddity
that’s for sure
You always put
yourself down
If you could have seen
through my eyes
You would have
realized
You really didn’t have
fat thighs
And your legs were
fabulous
And your bum was not
too fat
Your nose wasn’t
pointy
And your chest wasn’t
too flat
But that wasn’t possible
So, I fell in love
with your modesty
And you thought I was
a good catch
So, you got stuck with
me
I still love you just
as much today
As I did all those
years ago
And you’re still
completely oblivious
You simply don’t know
The way into my heart
Is not with silver or
gold
Nor money or jewels
Or five-star dining
Expensive sports cars
And holidays abroad
It’s nothing of
material worth
The way into my heart
Is a gesture of
kindness
An unselfish act
You, holding my hand
And gazing into my
eyes
It’s a gentle caress
It’s simply being you
I don’t want gimcrack
I don’t want a big
rack
I don’t mind frumpy
Though I’m not keen on
grumpy
She can have an
ordinary face
And two left feet and
lack any grace
I don’t even care
about her age
And her favourite
colour can be beige
I don’t care if she
wears specs
But I do want a girl
with self-respect
And inside a beautiful
spirit
That’s the type of girl who’ll fit
Dawn was a Glaswegian lassie
With the broadest
accent
Which made it
difficult when she spoke
To understand what was
meant
This was exacerbated
By a lisp and a
stutter
And because she didn’t
open her mouth very wide
She had a tendency to
mutter
As a result, I
couldn’t understand her
Apart from when she
said yes or no
But despite all of
that
We went out for three
months or so
