I was 19 and in the prime of my young life
I was lookin4 you one day to be my wife
You were a Sth Efrican spunkybum
And sure i was liked by your mum

We worked together then moved in together
We thought that we were in love
I was only 19

I played football with the men
And hung out with mates back then
I gave that up to be with you
Coz remember that day
When you said .. i love you

Anyway .. to cut a long poem short...


We woke up one morning
You said you were crook
I felt like sh*t coz not by your look

I felt so bad that you were sad
So i went off to work
To earn some money so both to be glad

All day at work i thought of you
And all i could think of was you
I called you on the phone during the day
You answerd and said gidday

I asked if you were ok
You said i'm fine and enjoy your day
I was sad that you were crook
And could'nt wait to get home for a look

The siren for knock off time went
I was only 19
But was the longest day of my life

Anyway

I jumped into my car
And could'nt wait to see you
I stopped off and bought you some flowers
Coz since i saw you last
It was hours

Anyway yada yada yada ...

When i drove up to our place
Your dad was out front with a mean face
There was a small truck with in it your belongings
And i thought WTF???

As he was bigger than me
He would'nt let me near thee
Until this day 20/6/16
I still don't know why and now i'm 53


ps, i'm so sorry ... i was only 19
