Sketched upon my memory
  are those days we spent in Paris

You said I was handsome
  I said beauty becomes you

We danced to the buskers
  and filled their cups

As you filled mine
  with love and your touch

Holding you then
  even as I hold you now

In dreams of what I always wanted to be
  rather than what I have become

I would have loved you more my sweet
  if I could have loved anyone at all

One ladle serves the soup that feeds the mouths of the many.

Paris may never have days like that again Mr. Styles. The free thinkers, street artists and al fresco romances will be preoccupied now.

Viva Le France

Here's to you and here's to me and should we ever disagree, here's to me!
