Sorry Love.

 

The band was shit!

Its name disappeared.

Gone from the bottom

of drink soaked memory.

 

I held a pint

mixed.

Half bitter half mild.

I remember that.

 

We stood at the back

I wore black

Flares on legs

And sand shoes.

 

You stood

Arm around me

Around slim waist.

Meaning something.

 

I stared into

A far off place.

Feeling some

Broken disgrace.

 

You moved

Tried to turn

Tried to kiss.

It was a miss.

 

My face turned

So you missed

my lips,

and brushed my cheek.

 

“We have to talk”.

I silently did

I’m sorry love

My mind says.

 

Courage gone

Bile “your not right you”

“Your wrong in the head”

She storms away.

 

I’m relieved.

She’s saved me.

I’m alone now.

I’m free.

 

I got another pint

Am I wrong in the head?

After two weeks

I missed the sex.

 

So I partied

And swayed

And entered the land

Of the one night stand.

It's never easy saying goodbye, but when a relationship ends you just have to move on. On saying that, it does get a lot harder in old age.

A moving read.

Yes sometimes its just not right and you face the awfulnes of telling someone its "not working". I lacked the courage and body language overtook me this time. I'm 61 now and have had one true love in my life where evrything was perfect... all of it, the sharing, caring, never those awkward silences. sensuality and beauty. But by then my mind was too battered by life and she had to be the one to move on, thats when I was 55. 55 years to find a real love. But at least even though I miss her still ive experienced it. I've given up on all that malarky now Jenny. 

I've been to 53 countries and each new place i'd play this song in my head... hahaha but she turned out to live just up the road!
