It's taken ten plus years to recognise,
For me to actually accept and realise,
That YOU are MY true ONE.

You have often told me but I didn't listen.
You have often shown me but I didn't see.
Now you are in prison.

Like you said in your yearned for letter,
WHY did this have to happen,
To YOU and to ME?

We both know the answer to that,
But MY love this cannot happen.
Not doing this time.

I know that you are innocent.
This time at least.
I know that WE are changing.

You "don't belong with these people"
You said on the phone.
I believe you MY love.

YOU are no longer alone.
YOU now have ME.
And I have YOU.

We know all about each other.
Inside and out.
Our inner and outer flaws.

We've always been in doubt.
But not anymore.
YOU are MINE and I am YOURS.

I truly LOVE you!
Mind, Heart, Body and Soul.
Our relationship has changed.

It's all so suddenly clear.
Why did we miss all those years?
Well, you have always been there or here.

Not anymore MY TRUE LOVE.
Our paths are entwined.
We will NEVER part again - not now.

When this LOVE can be freed,
When YOU are returned to ME,
There will be justice at last.

They say "Karma's a bitch"
I really don't care about taking revenge.
All I want is to scratch this itch.

We'll forget about the bastard,
Who caused all of this.
A neighbour, a supposed friend.

All he ever did was steal and not lend.
I fell for his lies.
Wow - I didn't expect this messed up "end"...

But, you see, that's just it.
He hasn't won, he's just made US see,
What should have been clear.

It will ALWAYS now be YOU and ME.
NOW and FOREVER my dear.
I WILL LOVE YOU.

FOR ALL ETERNITY.

ALWAYS AND FOREVER NOW.
TRULY YOU and TRULY ME...

To be continued...

❤️ Dedicated to Mr Gordon Glynn Roberts ❤️
