I've had loads of house guests over the years
so many that I have lost count. Mostly young ladies - but don't get any ideas, there's never been and never will be any er, um, "nookie". Some of them have "fancied" me and I have been very close to a couple of them, which makes it very hard for me when they leave.

Because they always leave.

Sometimes it's my hectic lifestyle that makes them go, sometimes they meet someone they can settle down with and have a proper relationship, sometimes - though not often - they die, sometimes it's due to circumstances beyond my control. Sometimes they just grow out of me.

The strange thing is I rarely invite them to come and live with me, they choose themselves, or stow away, or circumstances throw us together. Take my current guests - a young married couple. I first met the girl after a traumatic period of change in my life, and got on with the girl immediately. She moved in almost straight away though there was some bother about dates and times.

We became close very quickly and there was a sort of thing between us, though I did my best to discourage it. As for her husband, well, I thought he was a bit wet at first but soon came to like him. We had a bit of a rough time and I almost didn't make it to their wedding - but I'm glad I did as they are now both living with me and we are having a whale of a time!

But, they too will leave, eventually. It'll be sad, but, I'm getting used to it now. And I know that once they have gone, someone else will be along to share my life.

You never know one day I may meet someone who will want to stay with me forever...

What about . . . .
What about that bird with the big gob who followed you around for a few years?

I'm sure I'm being really thick here (it's generally the case)
But I don't get this.

A post like that shouldn't need to be explained.

But you're already have been married later.
You also will had a daughter and have going to have another, with grandkids. So you must have will had someone close for at least 2 minutes a couple of times in a future past at least.
