Blind Date

American voice soft, she said my name, Heart racing, I spun round, And smiled, instantly glad I came. A beauty, her accent thrilling me with its sound: The girl I’d spent a lifetime searching for was found!

And remind again, what YOUR accent is. Americans find other English accents sexy! Nice one, Jack, and congrats.
