Love and Other Memories
Vol 3 - poem 1
Please Take a Seat
by Tony Stewart
There’s room for one more at my table for two
Please won’t you pull up a chair
I’ve got lot’s of time to give
We’ve got so many memories to share
Oh lord! it’s good to see you again
How many days has it been
Probably it’s only been just over a week
but an eternity is how it does seem
I still find it hard to accept
you’ve misplaced the magic that we had
I really don’t have any idea
why everything has turned out so bad
But still it is great to see you again
you are looking so beautiful and so fine
Though I think, in my mind, you looked better
in the days when we used to shine
Please don’t stand there hesitating
take the chair, sit down, let’s talk
Perhaps, afterwards, if we both have the courage
perhaps we can go for a walk
I know it’s too early for new beginnings
for looking for someone, or something to blame
I don’t really know for certain
but I think our fate was partly too blame
Still, I’m glad that I have seen you
I cried such a lot that night
I guess you thought I did something that hurt you
I’m so sorry I can’t put it right
Please don’t run, feel awkward, or take fright
Sit down, we can still each have a friend
Please, my feelings are still so very strong
I don’t want this night to end
The joy we knew was so wonderful
so natural and so nice
I would really appreciate your consideration
that maybe, just maybe, we could try twice
Thank you so much for sitting
for joining with me for a while
Even if nothing else happens
you’ve made my night, with your smile
