You remember the day we met?

Once upon a time, down all the years

Up along the road

..

By my Uncle’s gate

Riding your bike back from the town

On the wall watching you go by

Keeping the smile from my lips

Ever the James Dean wannabe

..

My persona cracking as you stop

Your eyes, your smile, your laugh

..

How we danced without music

Each stepping to the singular beat

Around a centre that could never hold

Remember that day, remember the years

That day that was never Valentine’s
