Poem to a love who's lost By Mummywummy

This poem is written in little bits all over a Clinton cards paper bag and sadly has no date so I'm not really sure which of my lost loves it refers to!! Seems from looking through my poems I've been in love a million times - and all of them were the one according to the various poems!!! Funny how they don't feel like that now!! If I remember who it was whilst I'm typing it out I'll let you know!!

A Rose is a Beautiful flower

A Beauty for Eternity

And if it were within my Power

That's how long you would spend with me.

Well - now I look at this further I've realised these first 4 lines don't seem to go with the rest and I've read further to find this poem is about a guy called Steve Pescod who I met through a local paper ad when I first lived in Sandhurst in my little maisonette in Bittern Close!! He was gorgeous but still hung up on an ex called Lisa who unfortunately he still worked in the same firm as and who kept messing about with his head!!

Here is the rest:-

I miss the old Steve who used to be

The one who was happy cos he was with me

He sang and he laughed and had no need for drugs

It seemed all that we needed was plenty of hugs

I'm  hearing you on the telephone line

A tingle is creeping along my spine

My Legs turn to mush, and my knees go weak

And it's all because I'm hearing you speak

I'm remembering all the times we shared

From Frantic Passion to Loving Care

We didn't need anyone, Just we two

I thought I was in Heaven when I was with you

Then one day the Sun went behind a cloud

And deep dark gloom as if under a shroud

Came crashing around me, you'd changed your mind

And you'd decided to leave me behind

The days were so dark and the nights were so cold

From feeling so young I now felt so old

The tears flowing down like an endless rain

I can't even start to describe the pain

Despite all of that my hope was a seed

That stubbornly stayed like a persistant weed

I keep digging it up but it springs up again

But while it is there it keeps feeding the pain

And so still when I hear your sweet sexy voice

My body reacts and I still have no choice

Because stopping these feelings I just can't seem to do

And I think it's because I will always love you.

And guess what folks?? Years later after my second daughter Sabrina was born and I was working in Tesco that same man walked up to my till (10 items only that night!!) and I am embarrased to say my heart started racing again and I blushed even though I am now happily married!! This time I was embarrassed that I'd wasted so many tears and time pining for him!!! Boy did he look rough!!! What a lucky escape!!!

That's all for today folks!! More tomorrow!
