I met her in a bar one night when I was on a business trip;
We were both feeling lonely and had one too many sips.
We spent the night together and got a little passionate;
She was gone in the morning and that was the end of it.
He knocked on my door as a twenty-one year old kid;
Said he was the result of what two young strangers did.
He handed me an envelope while standing in the door;
When I read the letter stuffed inside my jaw dropped to the floor.
“I took a business card from you when I slipped out in the night,
Expecting that I’d look you up and thinking that I might.
But as the days turned into weeks I never got the chance
And then I started noticing some tightening in my pants.
“I didn’t want to bother you with the news of your son;
I figured I would struggle through this thing that we had done.
He really was a fine young boy and has developed into a man;
The news of my cancer put a damper on our plans.
“If you are reading this letter, I am buried in the ground;
I told him all about you and the address that I found.
He may be too proud to go on a search for you,
But he is a little curious so I told him he ought to.”
I stared at this young man, who looked an awful lot like me;
I never took on a wife; never had a family.
I was happy living on my own, suffering all alone;
I opened up the front door and welcomed him in my home.
Now I’m the happy grandfather of three beautiful little kids;
Raising this boy alone, she should be proud of what she did.
Doing this job all by herself; she must have been real brave;
Thirty years since that night, I’m laying flowers on her grave.
After a sleepless night I got out of my bed just normal,
Had a shower,combed my hair ,applied my makeup in care.
I walked out the door with a smile on my face,
I looked around and inhaled the morning wind and stopped to appreciate life.
I drove to work with my radio on playing my favorite song "This I Promise You",
I reached to work said good morning smiled and waved to everyone,
Unknowing to everyone I spent the night in tears,
With my head held proud I walked along the corridors,
Everyone said I looked happy every single day ,
Yet I felt different inside my heart,
Sometimes I wished that I was a child again,
When I didn't have anything to worry about,
My parents were my shelter to protect me from the world,
But not anymore now I was alone,
To fight my battles on my own,
I wanna go back to no hurt and pain,
When everything made me happy and free.

Happy days!
Better than days I'm blue
Happy days!
I have a smile on my face
As a friend I am true
As an amateur poet I grew
Happy days!

Remember how we wrote our names,
Across the sky and made it shine?
How this big great world
Seemed like just yours and mine?
Remember those wonderful old days;
When life was just one beautiful song?
Why were we happy even in the worst of times?
Maybe we were just the right kinda wrong!
Remember spending all our time admiring each other?
It seems like just yesterday.
Getting back to that golden era,
Looks like there is no possible way.
Remember the true love we shared?
Pride in others being happy for us clearly seen.
Now that you got into hiding;
The world acts like one huge drama queen.
Remember the care you took,the promise you made;
That you will never leave me whatever i do?
Breaking it all you suddenly vanished,
Without leaving even the slightest clue.
Lets reveal your identity;
Everyone is wondering who you could possibly be,
I know you better than anyone else ever can;
Cause your my perfection, the other side of ME
