Beginning and the end

I still remember the first day we met

You were this young beautiful girl everyone talked off

I still remember when the guys introduced me to you

You smiled, shake my hand and said “hi”

I never knew whether to smile or grasp the moment

You were so beautiful that I was told to let go of your hand

I could not stop myself from glancing

You were so me that I found myself looking at me in you

I had this desire to know you and express how I saw you

Begged my friend for your contact

I finally got them and contacted you

Being the lady that you are sad no to us meeting at first

I had to dig deep in my convincing skills

Began planning and then we met

It took me 6 months for me to convert your values of dating me

We dated best thing ever

I was your first love

You were my everything

I was what you never thought dating was about

You were my dream girl

What I had imagined about relationship

What you never thought a relationship was all about

I remember I made you sleep out for the first time

Come home the next day no one wanted to talk to you

Parents little girl was growing and they saw their princess becoming someone else’s queen

Thought that was at the end of their minds

Your mom did not slept the day you were with me

She had to answer million questions from your father where you were at.

At some stage they had thought something must have happened to you

Tears in your mothers eyes also a reminder of her youth

Years went by

The love started getting old as we aged in a relationship

My eyes now started to not see any beauty in you

The desire vanishing each time we did not see eye to eye

Coming home late for no main reason

Coming with all types of excuse like I was working late

One day at this club having drinks with my boys

A blond come in

I was tipsy

I became sober same time

I found myself paging memories of happiness

I did not want go home anymore

I stood up and went to her

Asked if I can buy her a drink

She glanced at me and said “yes you may”

I asked her a name

She said “my love”

I was taken blown away

I forgot about my eyes only

The one I got in-trouble with her parents  

It was our end a blond made me blond and forgot my eyes only

My beginning became my end
