reposted for the little red-haired girl. . . If Only If only I could know you I’ve watched you now so long If only I could know your name And know your favorite song If only I could know you I see you every day But any time you look at me I turn and look away I wonder if you’ve noticed me I try hard not to stare But even if you’ve seen my face You’ll never see I care If only I could know you And you in turn know me I wonder if there’d be a chance That you and I could be If only I could walk right up And talk to you a while To say hello and hear your voice And see what makes you smile But if that day should ever come Will you think it so absurd That this poor impassioned poet Is so failed by spoken word |

Adore this, simply adore this! You have described so well a "happening" that too often goes unnoticed. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, because I think I've been doing that myself  |

Fred, just because I miss this on its first round - and because I loved it when it was posted originally, I'm bringing it back... Does that make any sense? |
