Ab initio

Ab initio

That evening stroll I can still recall

Within the Dadeland Mall

And the perfume that I gave to you

As my first romantic cue.

 

I can still recall with great delight

The events of the night

When you and I sat down to dine

At that restaurant in Perrine.

 

I can still recall the mystic scene

The aura and cuisine

And the cheap and simple local dish

That you told me that you wished.

 

The great impression that you made

Within my heart has stayed

For you who made such modest choice

Could be trusted with my life.

 

No exotic wine or candle light

To whet our appetite

As we made that quaint and simple start

To win each other’s heart.

 

 

From Perrine to my “Dadeland Den”

I was the happiest of all men

For I had learnt from that first date

That I had found a true soulmate.
