In Bloom

The wisteria's finally bloomed
in the dream as I walk home
on the last day
of the last term
of the year.

The estates are well groomed,
springtime in South London.
Thoughts turn to the summer before.

Once I kissed the most beautiful I've ever seen.
How could a mind be quite so unlike the body in which it resides.

All the years with nothing and no one
rewarded and then some.
I was all set to give up and go.

And you know, cos I told you over and over
on that first sweet night in my room.

Once I kissed the most beautiful I've ever seen.
How could a moment be quite so unlike the life in which it resides.

But there's always one still in thrall while the other one pulls away.
I'm the bicycle thrown on the ground at the end of a long evening's play.
I'm the bicycle left on the pavement at the end of a perfect day.

You doubted me when I said I'd always want you.
Well it's a year on now.
