Tracey Thorn

Plain Sailing
Meetings arranged, they say, never work out I say we've proved them wrong without a doubt I can't remember now just what we said I never could have guessed what lay ahead As I ran towards you up the stairs Did a voice in my ear cry “Beware”? Even now I'm surprised you recall Such a short time it took me to fall Pretending that my heart still lay elsewhere When in truth I had long ceased to care For what I thought I'd never replace ‘Til in my heart you left him no space You say, you wonder what was it I saw? I say “Oh, I don't recall anymore” My first impressions have been left behind Replaced now by feelings and more lost in kind Sure that you know but you never can tell When I think I understand you so well Shakes me that you were a constant surprise Or so you appear in my eyes Tempting to think now it will all be plain sailing Old enough now to know there's no such thing.
