You just have to be sure you're doing the right thing.
I mean it's very easy to forget - she's just sitting there in the pub with her new friends and her new life and her new hair and it's been five years but you know just to look at her

I wasn't even sure it were her at first, I was ready to walk away but she smiled and called me over and we said hello for a bit.
When we back to our tables we were trying not to look over at each other and told our friends to stop staring.

I didn't see her for the rest of the night, but by closing time the beer's kicked in so I go up and speak to her and we end up talking about our new homes, our new jobs, our new friends and our new birds.

She says she's been going out with him now for about two and a half years, but they don't live together so he'd never find out.
And you think about chasing her about school when you were wee and lying in your bed and listening to love songs and pretending they were about you.
And the first time you asked her out she said no but one night you went to a wedding and when you came back to the pub she's changed her mind and you went out.
You remember the way she swung her arms when she held your hand but you can't remember how she kissed and now you've got the chance to find out

But you have to remember there's this other kiss.
She's at home, wondering where you are and what you're doing.
And you work hard on this kiss and you know it inside out, it's as much yours as it is hers,
And it took a long time to get right, it took months of practise and months of embarrassment but now you've got it perfected and you've been looking forward to that kiss all week.

You can see her breath in the air between your faces as you stand in the leaves and she just asks you straight out if you want to come and stay at her flat.
But you make sure you get separate taxis and you go home and there might be a slight regret and you might wonder what you missed but you have to remember the kiss you worked so hard on - and you'll know you've done the right thing.

this thread should have been stopped right after meggie posted.

that was beautiful. :drool:

It's "New Birds" by Arab Strap. Have you heard it?

Hearing it spoken in a Scottish accent is even better than reading it. :drool:

You don't like Tweety bird? I have had no dealings with Tweety Bird.

In all honesty, I have no feeling either way for the cartoon charachter. My feelings for the "alter' are widely known. :shrug:

Are you the alter? I don't know alters here. I have only been here a month.

I have never seen Tweety Bird on television.

nope



hmmmm...really.

Let me consult my manual, and see if we are still allowed to EAT BRAINS here in IO????!?!?! :macdevil: :shifty:


Who is it then? I am no good at puzzles!


I have no brains sorry and my last brain cell fell out today as I was running to pick up something from the office.

Oh and Hi. :)
 
hmmm.

Although many have proven themselves to have no brains, none have admitted it upon entry into the great halls IT'S OFFICIAL.

WEll, next best thing is a toenail sample, your first born puppy, and here, you have to eat this chicken pot pie...for dessert. Don't worry....there is nothing unsavory in it. Trust me. No, really.
