The Girl Who Said Hello
If I wasn't sure
Of all the nostalgia I'd endure,
I would wish to explore
Some of those moments again.
How your mummy, she knew mine,
They'd been friends for a little time,
Like the time that you explained,
Your first name, it was Jane.
I really loved you, Jane,
Though you only gave me pain,
You said hello the first,
But it only ended for the worse.
In our local swimming pool,
I swam so close to you,
Did you smirk to your bob-haired friend,
Between the deep and shallow end?
So I just shyly slinked away,
Feeling such a fool that day,
Pet Clark reinforced my bitter woe,
Singing My Love on the radio.
I really loved you, Jane,
Though you only gave me pain,
You said hello the first,
But it only ended for the worse.
(Based on several songs written for an - apparently - unrequited love suffered
when I was about 9 years old.)
