#839 Emma The First Time I Saw You

Emma

The first time I saw you

It was at a table for six.

You sat book in hand ignoring all others

And anyway I was not interested

You were taken

You lived with another

I was there with a friend

And anyway I was not interested

I heard you were free and going abroad,

I left to be elsewhere,

Time passed

And anyway I was not interested

We met at a party

I was there with a friend.

What made you think that hairstyle suited you

When I looked again you were there and so was I

You smiled

I was interested

Truelove will never fade
