Hi. I'm Greg and I am looking for a relationship.
I'll admit it (ahem)
A little back story...I fell in love and got married at the age of 19 to my high school sweetheart and in 6 years we had 3 wonderful kids. During that six years me and Lynn decided we weren't ready to be married so we split and later got a divorce. After dating several women, I met "The Perfect Women" and we were married...it lasted 3 months.
I eventyally got back with Lynn and we stayed together for another 7 years and I watched my kids grow up. Though there were a few ups and downs, it was the best time of my life.
We split again in 1997 and I went on to just cool it and date on an occasional basis until I met Karen.
She turned out to be the most compatible lady I ever met...after 3 years she died of a brain tumor.
Today is the anniversary of when we met and I wrote a lil something for her. Here's to you, K:
WHAT COULDA BEEN
When we first met I didn’t know
Or even guess how far we’d go
You were white, me cocoa brown
So I’d like to say
You had a bird inked on your arm
Part of your unique and rebel charm
An eagle soaring like your heart
And soon you won mine
I know ours wasn’t a perfect mix
More like a desperate reach, a fix
For me I think, more so than you
I was welcomed into your world
You wanted Christmas every minute
Your home always had a tree up in it
First I thought it odd and weird
Later I understood
Cancerous tumors in your brain
Your mind and spirit soon they’d drain
You hung on as best you could
I had no idea at the time
You’re not here, I miss you Karen
I’m so lost my spirit barren
I think of you all the time
And what coulda been.
After Karen, I remained single for awhile and I met a couple of fanastic women...but not THE ONE.
I am 50 years old now and I still have 1/2 my good looks (ahem). I know it will happen one day.
Amen...
