*Part of this chapter is going to be based of a song*

Joe's POV

As I was lay in bed with Dianne by my side, I looked at the time, 6 am, I decided to get up, lucklily Dianne didn't wake up, I wrote her a note telling her i'd be back soon, as I left the house, I walked down the road, it was silent, but calming, as walked down I came to a small bridge over looking a small thin river, I saw a man knelt by the side of the river with a simple rose held in one hand and a picture in the other

I walked down by the other side of the river,

'could I borrow your company for a moment young lad' he said

'Sure'

I sat down on the grass, the elderly man looked at the photo

'I need to tell someone of a girl I once knew, 42 years today since Rose took my hand in hers, I have proudly lived my life her husband, her man'

He passed me the photo,

'That was our wedding day, we were married 42 years to this day'

They looked such a loving and happy couple, I passed the photo back to him

'it was only last week son, that God took her away, the love of my life, but she said thes few simple words,

Life is a river, i'll go with the flow

And where it will take me the lord only knows, I miss you sweetheart, your kindness and love

But I know one day, we'll sail away on God's ocean above'

'She must have been really special' I said

'She really is, do you have a girl like that Son'

'Yes, yes I do, her name is Dianne'

'Well, Don't let her go Son, because once I almost let go of Rose but i'm glad I had that sense in me to stick, I was always so afraid, but she changed me for that and I spend the last 42 years, being the best years of my life'

'I love her, Dianne, she is the best thing that has ever happened to me'

'Well make sure you don't let her slip away'

'I wasn't planning on doing so'

'You best be on your way lad, get back to your girl'

'Thankyou' I said

'No thankyou lad'

The man shook my hand, and then told me to head home and that he would kneel for the day for his beloved wife, As I walked back to the house, his story ran through my head, that's what I want with Dianne, what that man had with his Rose,

Dianne is my Rose, Dianne is the girl for me, I hadn't really thought of a future, but now, I know what I want in my future, I want Dianne to be there, with me

As I reached the house, I ran upstairs to see Dianne still asleep, I sat on the edge of the bed, stroking the hair out of her face, she slowly woke up

'Hey, you okay?' she asked at a whisper

'Yes'

'Where did you go?'

'I went for a walk, and I met a man, down by the river, and he made me realize something'

'Oh yea, what?'

'That it's you who I love that, I want to see you in my future, I love you Dianne'

'I love you too Joe, and I want to see you in my future aswell, I love you Joe'

We kissed, I rested my forehead on hers

We went down stairs and made breakfast

Hope you Enjoy x
