It Only Takes One Letter

I can't believe it's happened we're assigned both to this class Cause I fell in love completely in the hallway when you passed Your hair, so bright and curly you're lips so chase and pure I hope my seat assignment would be very close to yours But the teacher had a system which proved to my regret Your last name fell too far down that bloody alphabet Out of thirty classroom chairs I never thought you'd be sitting in the one, that's directly behind me For a year, I smelled your perfume I heard your lovely voice But I never turned around to afraid to make that choice

Thanks Jan---There is something wrong with the system--as long as you have an A E I O for a second letter in your name you can do well----but that bloody U was always my undoing--Ha !
