Val

Paul Bell

She was having a party
A divorce party
He wasn’t invited
They came prepared
Balloons, rosettes, banners
More people than were at the wedding
Val was very popular
He listened intently
Something about Val, his soulmate
The loud girl with the big heart
He would miss that
The music played on till dawn
He was waiting in the street for the taxi to arrive
She was saying goodbye to the final few
He caught her eye
Sounded like a great night
Yeah, you know me
So how does it feel to be a single woman
Don’t know yet
How long you away for
Three, four months
Gives a call when you get back, we’ll go for a drink
Yeah, that would be nice
Taxi’s here, be seeing you Val
Tony
Yeah
Love you
Love you too Val.

    There's a great message in your words today. Something which really chimes with me as I remain great pals with the lady who was once my wife. So many turn to loggerheads with an ex but why. If there was so much love and respect there that you married them how can that suddenly disappear. OK awful things can happen to end a marriage but that doesn't change the person your ex was (though some things, in rarity would be unforgiveable).

    Love matures, just as we do.

      Definitely, moving on can still be getting together now and again.

      Marriage an institution to hold…but maybe love grows and matures too…growing with season without any reason….great one dear Paul….could feel the evolution of relations….

        The institution we all jump into, and maybe back out again.
