I last saw her over 25 years ago Because of my gangster reputation While we were drifting apart I acted as if i didn't care There were no arguments Not even a raised voice Foolishly i just let her go When anyone mentioned her name I pretended that she didn't interest me And anyway it was her loss For she was to blame Thus i lived the life of a gangster but from time to time Her face would pop up in my brain Again again and again Years after i changed my life around I often had feelings for her From deep inside my heart Then last week i got a phone call, out of the blue And when i heard the voice I said Julie is that really you The reply came "how did you know" All i could say in a stutter Is "i haven't got a clue" "But what i do know is that i have always loved and missed you" She said "I hear that you are single, and you are out of the gang life" Shaking like a leaf i told her "yes" And while in laughter i said "I am looking for a wife" THIS IS PART 1 OF A TRUE STORY, LOOK FOR PART 2 SOON

I have a mental health illness and I was a inpatient in a private secure mental health hospital not because i was a danger to the public but because i myself was the only person who was in danger from me was myself and that will reflect in my poetry...
