I wanted to make this something special....
To show her that I finally expressed myself.....
That time you said....
"You never buy me anything...."
Oh now the gift is bought....
Im nervous.....
Could this really be it....
Oh look there she is....
My hands are shaking... My foreheaad  sweat drips on the letter in my hand.....
Maybe flowers would have been a nice touch??
No lets not get carried away here....
Ok lets not beam with happiness... After all this is serious.....
After five years you are gonna say those words....
Wish her parents could be here....
I get down on one knee........
So she dosen't have to stand... She hates standing....
And look her right in the eyes..... hand her my gift.....
An official looking letter... With a Logo of a law offfice....
Put my hand out...
Oh oh....... She thinks this is something else.....
Better tell her those three words... She opens the letter...
Her smile turns to tears....
She looks at me and mutters "Really?..."
Yes sweetheart.... I finally committed...
Thats my lawyers name...
He says you cannot use my daughter against me anymore.... Oh heres those three words....
"Im leaving you...."
