In 2002, 27 years later from the first meeting, by a miracle, I happened to see her again in St Bartolome, where she now lives, I was sailing by but couldn't stay.
(A sequel to Maryse, 21, also here on PB)
Nothing seems so bright
I try to understand
how I let you slip away.
Cause if I see you now
I would fall down on my knees
And I'll propose to you
And never let you go away.
I made a call to you
But the number was wrong
A man in a shop helped me to get through
He even said that he knew you
We agreed on a time
In a small downtown bar
Ten o'clock at night
if I remember right.
Then you appeared,
My heart rushed a bit
I didn't recognize
But your lovely eyes.
We talked a while,
We had some drinks
We went out into the night
There was music in the street
And you danced on your bare feet.
'Cause I have known
From the very first day
That I belong to you
And I wish it could be true.
I tried to get back
To the feelings we once knew
But you talked 'bout other things
Our conversation went dry
I wish that I'd been high.
There were so many questions
That I wanted to ask
But not a single one came through
It seemed too late for you.
And you drove away
In the night , the stars shone bright
I was left alone
All the magic was gone, and the music too
Left me thinking of you.
Maryse, forty-nine
I thought about you as mine
But are you married or not
I will never know....
You told me I should see
All the things I wanted to be
But you didn't know
What I couldn't show.
I'd been madly in love with you
But let go.
'Cause I have known
From the very first day
That I belong to you
I wish it could be true.
On a wintry night
Nothing seems so bright
I try to understand
why I let you slip away.
If I could see you now
I would fall down on my knees
And I'll propose to you
And never let you go away,
Never let you go away
Never let you go away again......
