A Few Polite Words

This is a poem of love.

I could’ve walked past you without saying hello.

You didn’t have to respond to my greeting.

Other admirers also said hello to you,

But you found my approach more pleasing.

I said a few polite words to you,

And we enjoyed the moments that followed.

 

The party was swinging, and we were so excited.

I could’ve said I had to go and dampen your enthusiasm,

But we were having such a good time.

It was a lovely evening and you knew how to dance.

We wined and dined when the moon came out.

 

If you hadn’t stayed at the party a few minutes longer,

I wouldn’t have met a nice lady like you.

And you wouldn’t be in my arms now.

We have an outstanding love for each other.

It’s a love that’s too good to be true.

 

A few polite words did wonderful things for us.

That was a long time ago; now look at you!

Darling, you haven’t changed a bit since then.

You’re still the sweet lady I saw at the coastal resort.

I bless the night we found love and happiness.
