I'm standing there in the very early hours, frost bitten grass at my feet,
The sound of a dozen, I don't know what, bird singing in peaceful cantabile,
My fags out dead, I don't have a light, a staffordshire bull in my hand,
Walk to a fence where if you stand high enough you'll see hundreds of miles of landscape,
There's an unexpected frozen lake at the bottom of the hill, the mechanical hockey final is due to play,
Like an episode of flashbacks when writers have no plot, I recall the last 12 or so years,
The people i've met, the ones i've lost and how lucky I am to be here,
on this beautiful winters morning, where without soggy boots lays a blanket of snow,
Take a moment to predict the future,
Will it all come as easy as rubbing the belly of a Buddah,
My mid year of Uni, luckily, turned out to be, pretty easy,
There's a lady in the holiday appartment house, naked and holding a key,
It's old and rusty, there's a few big dents but it's all good if it's looked after properly,
Of all the places that i've ever lived my home is by far the worstest,
It's cost me many grands, money snatched from my hands, but it's waiting there without any inerest,
Soon this year if the prediction is true, next winter I will be in a bus,
Converted to a homely mortgage of metal, with enough space for all of us,
2 cats, a dog, 2 lovers, a kid, and a couple of friends,
We plan to travel across Britain, the EU and hopefully the US to end,
A stranger from 5 years passed that I don't deserve has subsequently changed my life,
She is my better half, the backing of my conscience, and hopefully, one day, my wife,
Never before have I been this excited to live, Everything seems so much brighter now,
My days don't just refresh to exist, reborn in a Worcestshire town,
This little frosty lawn, on top of the world, has inspired a new perspective,
I must have done something great in my past for my lover to forget and forgive,
Despite the struggles that may come for us I know we will make it through,
I know I am strong enough to do anything now and it's all because of you,
Who would have thought that 3 years ago I was bed bound with permanent cardiac arrest,
Now the tables have turned, I can walk again and my heart has finally been blessed,
The sun comes up and the frost starts to melt, the weather predicted rain,
I assume our angels were waiting for us to somehow meet again,
Something so perfect over one weekend looked as though it was gonna go wrong,
Now to return from where unspoken words are heard, we are ever-more strong,
Everything happens for a reason are the first words you ever assured me with,
Now I know where I belong, with you, in love, allowing our future to begin,
Unfortunately I have no thought for endings, but who needs to know one at the very beginning.
