Chez Paris
A Valentine's day poem by Helga, about her memory of one very special Valentine's day she had with a certain Football Head.
Valentine's Day is today
And love was in the air
Valentine's day is today
And I pretended not to care
...
Valentine's day is today
And I saw the others kids partake it
Giving each other's candy, cards and cakes
And yet I acted like I didn't like it
...
Valentine's day is today
And when I saw you in the halls
As you were unaware of my presence and talking to Gerald-o
All I could think about was that Valentine's Day that we spent together
From so, so long ago
...
The evening we spent together at Chez Paris
Even though you didn't know it was me
That night together at Chez Paris
Where I pretended to be someone that I'm not
All so that you wouldn't know who I was
And that I wouldn't feel embarrassed
...
That night at Chez Paris
It had been pure chaos, a near catastrophe
From cow brains, two timing and and me almost getting caught
That night at Chez Paris had been so crazy
And for a moment I feared that it all had been for naught
...
And yet something had happened, something that I still can't believe
You actually told me that you liked me
Somehow, you were able to overlook all the deception,chaos and demands
Somehow, you managed to see pass my ugly exterior
And you even kissed my hand
...
Oh, how I wish that moment could have last forever
But sadly it was not meant to be
I knew that we had to part ways
Before you could discover who I really was
That I was no more than Helga G. Pataki
...
I left for you my little red shoe
So that if you truly meant what you said
That you liked me too
You could use it to remember me by
And remember our first and only time
Together
On this day known as Valentine's
...
Now today, as I gaze at you, I still think of that night
Filled with romance, chaos, lies and you still finding it yourself to be chivalrous
I smile to myself since I still remembered what you said
That no matter what, we will always have Chez Paris.
:) Happy Valentine's Day, everyone :)
