LYNCH PIN

In the morning when I wake up and remember where I've landed, I can close my eyes and visualise exactly what I'll see: sheets bundled round you, the creases criss-cross your face like a map of your dreams, just for a moment or two.

And in the morning as I fumble for the radio alarm clock, to form a barricade to stop
the world from flooding in our room, we reach out our feet, legs all in a tangle, the bedclothes all mangled and strewn, just for a moment or two.

Let me love you always, hold your hand on the warm days, light a fire on winter evenings when it's cool. You're my lynch pin, my soulmate! What began on
that first date - it took me years to realise - it was the story of our lives.

And in the evening, when I'm up the stairs bathing our children (their tiny night-clothes lie in piles of pink and purple on the stairs), a hello from you, well it's enough to make them scream and shout and find they're caught unawares, just for a moment or two.

And in the night-time when I'm lying right beside you and you're breathing, well it reminds me of the boy you were and what you have become, no more 'if only', no more 'if I could' but only 'look what I've done'; it's making a man out of you.

Let me love you always, hold your hand on the warm days, light a fire on winter evenings when it's cool. You're my lynch pin, my soulmate! What began on that first date - it took me years to realise - it was the story of our lives.
