Get you home tonight

 

When I first I saw you I was filled with warmth and joy

Never knew you would be the woman to have my first boy

I hoped off the train to your car’s passenger seat

And relaxed my feet

 

Made up my mind at first sight

This is the woman with whom I want to be

 

Committed on that day to cruise with you

Dedicated the sacrifice of my life for yours

So that you could live if I needed to

 

Joy had filled my once my troubled home

I got a reason to live

I was no longer alone

 

I knew it was gonna be tough

We had just met today

I had to swallow the fantasy

And realize that life has an interesting way

Of changing what we want, when two destinies come into play

 

Went through the first wave of pain

When I had cursed out your mom

I thought about leaving then

Realized that I wanted to finish and stay head in the game

 

So I said do, because of the happiness I wanted to share with you

Decisions were made for eternity

For death to us, unto

Life and forever was the vows we exchanged

We were confident in our words

No trepidation no anxiety came

 

Dipped to South Korea on the low

Had a few issues there and a few fights

Then shortly we learned, we had a bigger reason for life

Learned that we was having Mr. Aden and it changed our life

 

Packed up to go North Dakota

DC was no longer in our gaze

The Air Force cancelled the request

And sent us on our way

 

 

We plowed down in the snow

Shoveling pain as we would go

Stood side by side through the thick and thin

Yet I never realized I was shoveling snow by myself

Without my best friend

 

Arguments transpired and words were said

Then next thing I know my happiness was dead

As I saw the your license plates from afar

I cried tears of pain and my soul was left a deep scar

 

How could I know that I was going to be separated from my family

Despite my wrong doings and issues, I fought my hardest to stay with Aden and his mommy

 

Week one I wrestled with your comments about me

A quitter, a looser, a man who does not know his destiny

I had dreams everyday about Aden Jovan

Woke up in the morning crying tears

Holding my pillow wishing it was you

So I could ease your fears

 

Despite the changes I was making

And my attempts to break bread

“You change at your convenience, it is not valid”

Is what you said

 

Week two I the pain was gone and so was the grief

I realize that I am

And not what you told me I could not be

No anger or malice was ever uttered to you

Never once were you called a derogatory name

In all honesty I was praying for you

 

On my birthday I said to myself

I no longer have the same joy and happiness when I speak your name

When your name is mentioned

There is no joy or pain

But silence like a the sound of an empty house getting beat up by hard rain

 

I take full responsibility for the decisions I made

Because I know the healing process starts with honesty with me

I have been honest with myself and put away my grief

 

You were the number one in my life

I had always sung, I wanted to get you home tonight

But those days are gone           

And my mind, heart and spirit have moved on

 

In order for me to heal

I had to let go of you my precious stone

 

Your actions made you a weight that I could not bear

There was no you or anyway could heal my souls tear

 

So tonight, my prayer is that we are both honest with ourselves

To prepare to be happily ever after

Not together, in the hole we have delved

 

My lack of reconciliation came because for the worst two weeks of my life

You never said I am sorry

You never said my bad

You just told me why I displaced myself from dream

Of being a husband and a dad

 

You are totally forgiven for all things you did to me

No grudges are here, no ill feelings no malice

No animosity
