20 Years in the Wilderness

style='font-size:20.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>

I sit here looking through old photographs of the happy
times of my youth, when I come upon a photo of my first love.

style='font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>Our love was short.

style='font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>But what a lady she was.

style='font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>It was on the dance floor
where we met, when she turned up with her sister and a friend. (2 Blondes &
a Brunette)

style='font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>The words that entered my
head when they first arrived I chose to ignore

style='font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>(They’re going too cause
trouble)

style='font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>

A group of 6 we became.

style='font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>The 3 beauties, 2 male
friends and myself.

style='font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>One night I felt I had
fallen in love with the wrong sister, how natural it felt to talk to this
cuddle brunette beauty, instead I had fallen in love with her skinny, blonde
sister.

style='font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>

style='font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>It was at the car rally
where the relationship ended, in a barrage of loud & hurtful words.

style='font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>With coercion did she attend
my 21^st.

style='font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'> With apprehension I attended hers.

style='font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>It was to be the last time I
was to see my first love.

style='font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>

style='font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>For 20 years did I hide in
the wilderness.

style='font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>Long hours of work I buried
myself in, and on the bike I fled.

style='font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>For 20 years did I run, for
20 years did my armour gain strength. style="mso-spacerun: yes"> style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Never again was I going to let another women
get close enough to hurt me.

style='font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>That was until this
gorgeous, cuddle brunette found the path through my armour and to my heart.

style='font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>It was through a hug that my
armour collapsed, a hug of pure Affection & of Love.

style='font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>Never again would my armour
need to be raised.

style='font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>Not unless I were to lose
the one I love.

style='font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>

style='font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>
