Everyday Monday to Friday Helen use to come down here from her home on the bus and in to town without fail rain or shine hot or cold waether.

She did this so that she could meet me on the middle of this bridge for my dinner hour from work. She was seldom late and always happy to see me , i use to be giddy all morning knowing i was going to meet my true love , i was buzzing all afternoon because i got to kiss her lips and hold her hand and see her smile , Helen went home to her husband and i went home to my wife ,and i was happy on an night walking my dog with my i-pod on listening to snowpatrol and coldplay knowing that tomorrow i would see her again and that kept me going .

we use to go here to the Aire bar and i would get half a lager and lime and i would have a bottle of Magner's.

We would talk about the future and about us our relationship and about lone day living together and leaving our partners setting up house and living of fish finger butties our love for one another and music , we would sit out on the balcony so Helen could smoke and the hour use to fly bye .

Before we discovered the Aire bar we used to spend dinner times together here in this pub which was just a little bit further to walk and the decor a little bit more dated and it was more out of the way less chance of being spotted .The result was the same we was happy anywhere just to talk kiss and be together.

These early days where great fun i don't think we ever got spotted by anyone we knew , the days now are even better and still exciting and hopefully the days to come will be better still.

I,am more in love now than i was when i first meet Helen six years ago at work i did love her then but it was a forbidden love and i thought it was a no go situation.

I never realised i had a chance..... if i had any idea we could have had six extra years together we would have been in a different situation Helen wouldn't have been married i kissed her at her evening reception it was the only reason i went , and i would have had more financial security but everything for a reason i believe in fate and i believe in love but most of all i believe in HELEN , we are getting there we have a nice home and one day we will have a mortgage to buy our own little palace. Its nearly been one year since i meet Helen outside work and started seeing her this will be our second Christmas in a house instead of the apartment we will have a proper tree and lights and decorations i cant wait it be here sooner then we want it to be hopefully things will have moved on and things Will have been sorted out or near to get sorted out regarding the divorce and the sale of the house a new year will be around the corner and hopefully 2009 will be the start of a new era.

didn't go straight home after work had to kill a couple of hours till six o clock so i went to Castleford i dropped a work mate off home which wasted one hour so i then went to the canal at Rodley i parked up and walked down the canal bank to the railway pub for half a cider , the reason being Helen had her youngest son round at the house and her husband was picking him up so i stayed away a bit like oil and water we don't mix.
when i did go home i showered changed and the went with Helen to the Owl for tea had lasagne and Helen had the scampi called round to visit my nephew mark he was at the kerb saying by to his girlfriend Susan who was driving down to wales to see her parents , made plans to meet up Sunday
