If You Afford Me The Time I'll Tell You A True Story

If all you good people afford me the time, I'll tell of the story of Helen and Johnny and how we
began
At sixteen Helen was pretty and cheeky naughty but
nice, she married a guy and 
thought he loved
her
But he lied and cheated while having an affair Helen
​became poorly as a result of 
the lies that he told
her
It was many years later we met again I had known Helen
from about the age 8 we fell In love married Helen
gifted me a
son
Twenty long years together
like Siamese twins, we were
never apart but sadly Helen passed away much to young for anyone to
die
Tears In my eyes as I step from her grave, terrible pain
of quilt, leaving her alone In that cold lonely
place
Desperately wanted apologise, for leaving her In such a sad lonely place, for this would be the first time In our twenty years together, we'd ever been
apart
My Helen was Incredibly brave, for she stayed that way right to the end, so farewell 
​​​​​​my wife mother lover and true friend
You've earned the right to rest, but this world Is a much sadder place without you
Helen, love you always and forever.
