Thread Name: Obit: Francoise Hardy (1944-2024)
Subject: RE: Obit: François Hardy
I met her on a school exchange scheme... Wrote this a few years back.
My Forever Love, Francoise Hardy.

Oh my love Francoise, you made me this way
Thinking about you day after day.
I know when it started and the reasons why,
I was only fourteen but I had a good eye.
I spotted you filming on the River Seine,
You kissed my cheek and I didn’t complain
I played all the tracks, on your LPs so great
The sound of your voice had decided my fate.
I looked at your picture each day from the start,
And soon realised you had stolen my heart.
Although aware that you could never be mine.
I was consumed with a passion, a love so divine,(OK so it was a crush!!)
I wanted you to think, about me the same way,
As I thought about you, every magical day.
Though fully aware, that this could never be,
I knew in my mind, l would never be free.
I’d like to forget you, but I never will,
I still play your music and think of you still.

Rest in peace beautiful lady.
