If by any chance...
We happen to meet again,
In any of those familiar places
Where we used to go often,
And you smile and say 'hello' to me
And I answer back to you 'hi'...
I hear a sweet and soft voice
Attached to strong woman's scent
Which obviously reminds me of you....
As a natural reaction:
I search for answers
Within my mind and heart
With only one response coming to me,
A picture of you, again...
Don't blame me!
For my lack of recognition,
If by definition,
I no longer see the woman
But I only see the shadow, instead...
Don't blame me at all...
With you, I learned my lessons
The hard and painful way...
In due time, I grew wiser,
Now I can see the difference
Between a bad and a good wine...
Since I am no longer blind...
