 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’d 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 eac
Er and told our firneds 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 home
R new jobs 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
G 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 p
E’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 i
Hers,and it took a long time to get right, it
took months of practice and months of
embarassment 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 ta
Nd 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.
