Not If I See You First

NOT IF I SEE YOU FIRST I’ll be seeing you, maybe soon Now that we both have woken If you are still alive and kicking Hearing that leader tape flicking You’ll remember the technology From when we studied an –ology Since then, we have not spoken A dish ran away with my spoon How’s life after all these years Getting along with so-so health I couldn’t bring myself to phone Hoping this letter finds you alone She’d never last too long with you And almost anyone else would do You stole my girlfriend with stealth It’s been a while since I shed tears So, no chance of ever meeting Fine, but I don’t bear a grudge Just never think of calling again I have ways of causing you pain But Hey, there’s no hatred here Yet be aware if I should appear On a busy street, just a nudge Don’t mistake that for a greeting You may feel as if you’re cursed Bitter feelings remaining so strong What may have been a simple slip Is now a constant miserable drip What a bad thing to do as a friend Yet retribution comes in the end You may see me before too long But trust me, not if I see you first
