To My One and Only Love by George Serradinho

Some more of my words sent to someone on 2 January 2007, enjoy and let me know what you think.

To My One and Only Love

I’m not a poet of any sort,
but love makes you do funny things.
I will do my best to let you know,
what I know now and how I feel and it goes something like this ….

I had many girlfriends in my younger days
and I thought I knew what love really was,
I cried over many of them, day and night.

Until that day at Telkom, when you walked in.
You shined like no other, no other I have ever seen before.
Your face, inspiring and beautiful.
Your hair, long and perfect like the fairytales read to kids.
Your body, sending chills down my spine.
Your personality reaching out to all.
Your smile and laughter, making all worries disappear.
Your touch, like no other on this planet - soft and gentle.

I thought you were out of my league,
but our eyes longed for each other over time.
Every time we were together,
the electricity was electrifying.

I upset a good friend of mine,
as he was trying to win your heart.
I had to try and win your heart first,
I thought you were everything and more.

You came to watch me play soccer in the locations,
I was excited and joyful.
Like a small child opening a present at Christmas time.

Our love was strong and pure, never ending love.
We moved in together, our parents were worried.
We had strong feelings for each other,
we were both flying without wings.

We had many special moments in the flat,
that was all we could afford.
We got married after finding out you were pregnant,
you gave me the ultimate love, a baby boy.

We named him Tyron, you were a mother,
all women dream of being a mother.
I was happy and excited to give you a child.
We were both happy and in love.

I know I never pleased you in bed like I should of,
I was a fool and now know why.
You were always true to m e no matter what,
And I thank you for that.

As the months went by, I made mistakes,
many of them, day after day.
I do realize now what I was doing,
I was trying to make more money, for you and Tyron.

My priorities changed, and I lost my eye on you, our love.
You wondered off to places I never new.
I didn’t know that our love was crying out for help,
I was blind and dumb.

Now we are at separate pathways,
you’ve decided to go left and I want to follow and correct things,
but you tell me to go right as it’s what’s best.
I find it hard to believe that our love has died,
and try to do anything and everything for you.

You’ve made up your mind and say it’s over,
I cry every day by myself as I know deep down in my heart,
that you are my soul mate, my reason for living.
I know it feels right to leave me, but I know that I
can make things right if given to chance.

I know that this poem probably won’t change anything,
but I had to get this off my chest, as it was consuming me.
I do wish you well on your journey,
as I must come to terms that I’ve lost you.
Lost you forever.

I will always love you no matter what we say to each other,
For you will always be my soul mate, J………
I made a promise to God on our wedding day to
Love you until death do us part.
And that is one promise I will not break.
Goodbye and good luck.
