Inspired by @onedirection19...post 'Love at First Sight Does Exist'
A friend of mine had arranged her leaving do Her working days with us were now through I really wasn't sure whether I should go? I was a single mum who was feeling low My mum said "I know you have a lot on your plate But you need to go out if you ever want a date?" So even though my headache wouldn't go away I decided to listen to the words my mum did say So I got all dressed up for a few drinks out Pink top, black skirt, flicked hair with a pout My friend wanted to go to all her local pubs I was relieved as I wasn't quite up for the clubs I was driving though so I couldn't have a drink Each pub we went to the more my heart did sink It was about 10.30 when you said one more pub Again my heart dropped, I just wanted some grub Anyway I put on a smile for the sake of my friend Thinking that the night was drawing to an end This pub was heaving and I could barely move My stomach churned as it smelt the food My friend went up to get us a drink It was then that you saw me, you gave a wink You said hello, I said hello back This was no time for a confidence lack We kept smiling at each other from afar As I waited for my friend to return from the bar It sounds corny but there really was a ZAP The electricity was buzzing, I know, it sounds crap As soon as we sat down, you came and joined us You knew my friend too, so she didn't cuss You were asking me questions one after another I felt like I was in the diary room from Big Brother You apologised saying you'd had a few drinks You just wanted to know me, know what I think It turned out we had many mutual friends It was annoying to have met you as the night ends As I was leaving you follow me to the door You were asking for my number, I couldn't ignore We swapped numbers and promised to call Inside I was excited, I never expected this at all As I was leaving you said you were very shy That the drink had been talking before our goodbye You begged me, should you never get the guts That I would make the call instead, it's a must Sure enough you had lost your nerve to call And I was in two minds about calling at all? But I did and we would speak for hours I didn't need wooing with chocs and flowers That was the beginning of our years together It's a night I think we both shall treasure
