I succumbed to your charms once,
I succumbed when I was twenty-three,
and l fell for you madly,
I fell for you, and you were like the devil to me,
tempting me, but I did not complain,
for when I saw you in that blue dress you set me aflame,
you set my heart aflame,
and oh, how I lost my way, how I lost my way,
and you lead me off the beaten path,
and we had such a tempestuous relationship,
and a fiery relationship,
and how brightly together we burned, how brightly,
but today,
you will not even give me the time of day,
and I harbour no ill will towards you,
but you if you do see me,
you scowl at me and that is just the way,
just the way it is, and it is a shame,
but how often life throws water on the flames,
and sadly, we fizzled out,
and I never quite know why to this day,
and you seem quite bitter towards me,
but I succumbed to your charms once,
I succumbed when I was twenty-three,
and l fell for you madly,
I fell for you, and you still have your beauty,
but your temper has never changed,
and, I these days,
I walk on by,
and sigh,
with the good times a distant memory,
and things forever changed,
and you are still unhappy,
but not me.
