Poem
Do you remember? When first we met When we were set up By our so called friends Tony and Gwen, Who quickly abandoned us? A quick introduction Then they were gone Leaving us with each other How awkward was that? Being left with a complete stranger You would never have chosen me In a million years And you were not my perfect choice I had someone different in mind altogether But their we were Having to make small talk With an unsuitable partner Making do for the moment While planning an escape Then the music started And I asked you to dance You reluctantly agreed I wasn’t bothered either way I thought just one dance Then I could desert you With a clear conscience Then just as we walked, hesitantly, Onto the dance floor The up tempo number ended abruptly And for a moment there was nothing Just the two of us feeling foolish And wondering just how We could leave the dance floor with our dignity Then the music began again And Harry Nilsson started to sing We looked at each other briefly And resigned ourselves to our fate There was an awkward coming together I gingerly put my arms around you And we shuffled along to the music Hoping that time would speed up And the experience be over quickly But as we danced along to Harry The gap between us slowly decreased Inch by inch until we were as one And at that moment I felt at home All thought of escape melted away I never wanted to leave again And now I wanted time to stand still So the dance would never end We hardly left the dance floor all evening And when we did it was brief So eager were we to return to our embrace “Without you” was the song That we first danced to And I have not been without you since
