Bad Timing

I've just found another couple of poems written to my ex-hubby Alan Wills. This next one may well have been sent! Although I'm sure the bit about potato peeling and cooking dinner MUST have been lies!!! Oh and the reference to the Policaman's Ball was because I was looking at trying to join the police force back then when it was alot safer a job than it is now!!   ;-)

Bad Timing

It's taken me a year

To really know the way I'm feeling

I miss my life with you

I even miss potato peeling!

I miss having you there

When I need a loving hug

I miss making a cup of tea

With a teabag in a mug!

I miss cooking the dinner

'Though it was never really much

I miss your gentle kisses

And I miss your tender touch

It's funny that I miss

Some of the things I really hated

Like standing in the Tesco queues

And getting aggravated!

It's very sad I couldn't

Make my mind up months before

But I suppose that we both know

That I had to be so sure

But don't you worry baby

'Cos you have a new love now

And I won't try to spoil it

Even if I did know how

'Cos at least I know you're happy

Even if it's not with me

But if you ever do split up

You know just where I'll be.

I have a lovely boyfriend

And he's very understanding

Even though to live with

He can be very demanding

You see my week with him

Has just reminded me of you

And he's comforted me through it

'Though my real feelings he knew

So I'll make the most I can

Of the time I have with Paul

Even though it may not last

Until my first Policeman's Ball!

I doubt that you'll still want

To have a birthday drink with me

'Cos now I've told my feelings

Karen will not let it be

But if you like, I'll drive, not drink

And therefore I'll be good

So I ask you just one favour

Consider it, if you would.

This was written in Feb 1991 and was probably what made him think he'd better get the divorce started!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! Karen made him do it I expect!! But I do know he never stayed with her - I think in his words he said she was a bunny boiler!!!

Next instalment in a bit!! Making up for missed blog posts!!
