My First Wife

The True Story I saw you sitting on the shop windowsill Swinging your legs to a tune in your mind Still dressed in your school uniform My heart was madly skipping beats I was in the village on a holiday I could not take my eyes from you I tried to breath normally I would soon be on my way again I was far too shy to approach you To me you were subject of dreams I would take your image with me Would I be stronger in a year I did return, and I was stronger I had the time to steel my inner self I knew you would be at the local dance I also knew you were unattached I decided to befriend your brother He would help me to win you over He did and I did How we lived until cancer took you I promised you I would go on with life In the twenty six years since you left I have done that, to honour your memory Not a day passes, that I don't still miss you The last thing you told me, I would be happy I would find someone, I felt your help The lady I chose, is all you wished for me Hopefully we can all meet again someday
