2003
Let me take you back to a few months after Anne my wife died
All the tears for her, by then I had cried
it took no more than ten minutes for me to think
My five-year plan was then written in ink
Meet a girl, settle down, have a child and move back to my home town!
The 2006 Year three
My plan was now starting to flounder
The one I had still not found her!
Then out of the blue
Seemingly my dream was going to come true
God and I do believe it was, sent me an Angel from above
And boy her did I love
I think now if she read this, I can see on her face laughter.
For this part of my story, There was no happy ever after
For that was it, her time with me was suddenly spent!
back up to heaven, she went.
She didn’t just break my heart. She ripped it out and pissed in the hole.
And this was God saving my soul
But what did it now matter
my life was in absolute tatters
I looked to God with hatred in my eyes
How could he send me this girl? Who destroyed me with her lies.
2007 – Year four
Yet the faith I should have kept
As God is far from inept!
For all this triggered a chain of events into action
As he sat there watching me have an extremely negative reaction
My behaviour was, I fully admit over the top
My self I could not stop
I hated myself for what I was doing, I really did
on my life off had come the lid
Then at work, I was suspended, had to give in my pass
You would have thought I would have come to my senses at long last
Well you would be wrong
A path to self-destruction I was still on
Then one night when I should have been on a night shift
With the world at large, I was rather miffed
How much lower could I then sink?
So I went down to the pub and had a drink
It was then, though I didn’t know it, my luck had changed
God had this night arranged
For I saw Rachel who at a table was sitting there
She instantly beckoned me over to an empty chair
Fast forward a little bit
The main part of my story, I am now getting to it!
Rachel introduced me to Nikki, Who had a plan of her own!
And in November she sent a positive pregnancy test picture to my phone.
2008 – Year five
Suffice it to say things went a bit tits up there too
Arrested by the boys in blue
A DNA test I had to do!
12 weeks old was my son when him I first met under a supervisor’s eyes
The first thing he does is bloody well cry!
A court battle looming
With everyone assuming!
Now going back to God and the Angel he had sent me
And remember the victor writes history!
Well I don’t know what she wrote
But God in the meantime sent me this little note
The girl I sent you to love dearly
Well clearly
I never meant it to be
I want you now to be bold
They are all assuming you will fold
This you can not do
Horrific what this girl did to you
In a row now, do you want to lose two?
Let this experience with this girl give you the strength and the will
Follow my guidance now and I will give you the skill
To fight this upcoming battle and for you to win
Remember your five-year plan, Don’t rip it up and put it in the bin.
They say
That God works in a mysterious way
To be modest – I won!
I got to keep my son
My plan was done!
It has taken over 650 words to get here
November 2022 now is the year
It was back in September, At a pub called the Hare and Fox
I had a sneaky look at my inbox
Have you ever made a wish after throwing a penny in a well?
As it is now come true, I can tell
It was for her to contact me however long it took
and back we go to an old chapter in my book
She does not trust me to speak on the phone, In case I go off on one
I lied saying trust is earned blah blah, I would love to hear her voice and remember the times we had that were fun!
I was too ashamed to say,
The last time I spoke to her was 2006 Christmas day
That is when she told the second of her big lies
Yet to her the truth is I would rather disguise
For I dont think I could trust her
If I can’t believe a word
I could not tell her that but I don’t know why
It is not like me to be shy!
That was going to the end
from 3 or 4 emails from my ex-girlfriend
Fault both sides I don’t think we were listening to each other at all
And in future, I will be careful about what I wish for
