I remember the fist kiss, I remember the first fumbling embrace. I thought my heart would just explode.
When we were young we would want to be in each others arms for as much time as we could steal and each time we were, it was as though we had only seconds left to live such was our passion. I remember when it was loves young dream and it seems only yesterday.
But of course now, things are so different, the prince she once found is now a frog. It is all she can do to look me in the eye!
I can't remember when she last uttered those three little words?
I close my eyes and remember the way we were and wonder why we find ourselves here.
Is it just the path that life has led us on?
I am still a passionate man, I am still in love with the girl I met 25 years previous, but I committed the worst sin a man could commit - I broke.
No more could I stand proud and strong for, I was on my knees in pieces life had finally beaten my resolve.
I guess I became the opposite of what my sweetheart married and which now seems to revolt!
I would run, but I can't. My hope is that she one day may fall back in love with me but my certainty is left for the children I adore.
I am reminded of my wedding vows - in sickness and in health and I smile a wry smile!
