DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT I TOLD YOU?

Do you remember what I told you?

Can you picture how we were?

Stood amongst the throng of shoppers

How my heart I felt it stir

Not known you for a minute

But you took my breath away

Couldn’t bear the thought of losing you

But you? You couldn’t stay!

Had your wife; your 2.4

But I never questioned why

Your reasons for mistreating her

Didn’t care or want to pry

Our year it was a lifetime

But the moments went too fast

Savoured every part of you

Always knew it wouldn’t last

So it’s coming up to Christmas

And I’m feeling sad and blue

I’m dreaming looking at shop fronts

All I want this year is you!

But I know you won’t be visiting

Or passing through my door

No point in hanging mistletoe

I won’t need that anymore

The shoppers they keep passing

And I stand remember when

Our arms entwined; our eyes then lost

Will it ever be again?

Then I catch a man’s reflection

My heart won’t pause for air

I turn and see my nightmare

And the reflection holds my stare

I want to look away

But I’m captured by your eyes

The look of total shock

Disbelief and sad surprise!

For the people stood around you

Are the ones you left me for

Your safe, adoring wife

And your clichéd 2.4

A brief smile for a second

Then your wife she takes your hand

You kiss her on the cheek

You’ve got all your Christmas planned!

As you turn to take your leave

And you walk away once more

Do you remember what I told you?

You’re the man that I adored ......
