What was I supposed to say ?
What was I supposed to do ?
I just went out for a walk today
And then I bumped into you
At first I didn't recognise
Behind the clothes, and that hair-do
But when I saw those deep brown eyes
I suddenly realised it was you
We awkwardly talked of this and that
The dogs that we both were walking
Not even " How are you ", no normal chat
We really didn't want to be talking
There's too much that's happened, much too much
For us to try to just pass the time
I found it hard to look at, never mind touch
What I used to be proud to call mine
