six months

You are crazy, crazy, crazy man, they said
man "you have to be crazy
she’s six months’, pregnant man
what’s wrong with you, man’ ‘can’t you see

The words of my friends
as they try to get me to understand
asking me, how can I love a girl
who has been left pregnant by another man

OK" this is how the story began at the Home Depot
I was at work in the lumber department one morning
and I had just walked over to the plywood aisle
after spotting Eric on the forklift to get a pallet of 80 lb. cement

So, I was putting away some Pressured treated lumber
when I heard a gentle and sweet voice says "can you help me
and when I turn around, there stood this pregnant girl
and she was very beautiful, but her face was unhappy

So, I said " sure how can I help you” miss
She had a voice that was so soft and sweet
She had black curly shoulder length hair
And an angel faces with red lips that look so sweet

She then started to tell me with her beautiful voice
That she wanted help with getting a piece of plywood
And if I can cut one piece into two pieces for her
And which is much cheaper than buying two pieces

So, helped her and cut the ply for her and did everything to make her shopping experience very happy at the home depot
And make her feel appreciated at home Deport
So I told her Congratulations with the baby
And I started to walk away to the Millwork isle 24

Then I stopped and said " let me help you with the cart, and I carried it to the cash registrar
And said that I would also help you put it in your car outside in the parking lot
After I get it in her car and close the car door, I said your husband would help you at home
but when I said that she started to cry and she lets out all the tears that she was trying to keep inside

She then said to me that her “ her boyfriend left her after he got her pregnant
And for the past six months, she was making it on her own
then she told me everything about her life story
And in my heart, I felt so sorry for her, so I told her “miss from today you have a friend in me, and you don’t have to go through this alone

And I give her my phone number " and said to her
Call me or text me anytime, day or night
Anytime you feel alone and wants to talk to someone
And she smiles with her cute face and wiped her eyes and said " all right I will

Then three days had passed, and I didn't hear from her
But while at work at the home Deport, for some reason, she was always on my mind
I sweep the aisle and flat stack the lumber racks
And pack out the Simson ties on the end of aisle 27
But still, I keep thinking of her all the time

Then late one night I got a call from her around eleven pm
And she was crying and said "she feels alone
And how she hopes I didn't mind her calling me
So late, but she just needed to talk to me

And although she was six months pregnant
I felt a flow of happiness taking over me
So I take a deep breath and try to sound relaxed and cool
And said "who are you again? Your voice sounds so familiar to me
But I knew it was her. but I didn’t want her to know that I was thinking of her

Then she said with her soft sweet voice
Remember at the Home Depot we met last Week
I am the girl you give your phone number to
the pregnant girl with the chubby cheeks

So, I said " oh yes, I remember you now
Are you ok? How are you? What's wrong
Then she said " I just feel emotional and wanted to call you
And I said. It’s ok. To be honest, I'm glad that you call
then we started to talk, and we talk the whole night long

after that night, we developed a strong bond of friendship
And every time we talk, we become closer to each other
And as time goes by, the weeks turn into months
He pregnancy and condition were getting more difficult for her

And I was falling madly in love with her
The girl I love “is pregnant with another guy child, what do I do now?
But she's Everything I ever wish for in a girl
She's so gentle and kind and beautiful like a dream come true

I was very confused about what to do about my feelings for her
And what would my family and friends say
I didn’t know if I should feel happy or ashamed or sad
Should I end our friendship and just leave her and walk away

she was pregnant and alone and facing so much on her own, she loses her car cause she couldn’t make the payments
one day I was driving home, and I saw her by the bus stop on forest avenue, she was going to the doctor's office
and it was a very hot summers day ,so I stop my car
and said to her “where are you going ? I will take you

and after that, I would take her anywhere she had to go
and then we would go to the clove lakes park
and we would sit and talk while having ice cream cones
and won't leave until the place got dark

and I know that she was falling in love with me for me also
by the way, she would smile, and she would hold my hands tight
and she was not sad again, the sadness on her face was gone
sometimes we would go to South beach boardwalk, and we would walk on the sand

then the time was finally here, the time that she had dreaded for was finally here
she was in so much pain when she calls me that night
and as they wheel her into the emergency room
she said to me " please stay with me, don't leave me alone

and I don't know where the words came from because I didn't plan on saying it
Out of nowhere I just kiss her for the first time and said I love you ' I love you so much
and she looks at me through all of the pain was having
and she hugs me so tight, and she said I love you "I love you too

yes, I am crazy " I am crazy in love with her
and I don't care what anyone says or think about me
I sat on the bed next to her holding the little innocent baby in her arms
and said “will you marry me
and she said yes, I would, and we hug and kiss and stops as the baby began to cry
