Sorry, Sophie

Because you said you were leaving
I grasped the only chance
to ask you out for an evening -
drink, meal, somewhere to dance ?

Your instant, almost echoing
"No" took me aback completely
so when I saw you still standing
there and in the middle clearly

of planning to stay by taking
your coat off, I became confused.
My comment "I thought you were leaving"
was in no way meant to be rude.

I'm sorry if I was appearing
resentful. Rudeness has no excuse.
Please forget my importuning.
You've every woman's right to refuse.

But as ABBA sang 'Take a chance on me'
please forgive and just dance with me.
