If I Only Have One Memory of You

If I Only Have One Memory of You

It wouldn’t be the day a friend of mine

Introduced me to you

And how you curled at one corner

Because you were shy

It wouldn’t be the night I received

Your first reply on the phone

That you agreed

To go out with me

It wouldn’t be the first date we had

When you ordered food

More than I could eat

And we laughed when I surrendered

It wouldn’t be the night

You didn’t show up in our place

Where I waited for three hours

Until my friend asked me to sleep because it’s midnight

It wouldn’t be the morning

I saw your post with another man

Both of you were smiling

On a boat far away from here

It wouldn’t be the night

I removed all the things

That made me remember you

And how I cried the whole night through

If I Only Have One Memory of You

It would be the day a friend of mine

Introduced me to you

And how you curled at one corner

And I didn’t approach you.
