Love is blindness
I don't wanna see
Won't you recognise
Around me
Oh my heart
Love is blindness
David was at the cemetery about to leave as he put flowers on his mother's grave when he decided to go and see his
father's grave. Recently he had thought about his parents marriage and how unhappy it was but he knew that his future
marriage to Carol was going to be filled with love and happiness. They had waited along time for each other and
finally they were going to have their big day. But recently he had started thinking about his father and the guilt
about not having made the effort to see him when he was alive. Pete Beale had only been forty eight when he died
in a car crash in 1993 and David wished sometimes that he could have gotten to know him but resentment always got
in the way. Resentment for the fact that Pete was never there for him and Simon when they needed him but now he
realised Pete wasn't all to blame. He found the headstone not far from where his grandparents were buried.
He knealt down. He looked at the gravestone, it wasn't much but his father lay there. "Hello Dad" he whispered as
he lay flowers against the stone then he felt the tears coming down his face, "Oh Dad, the happiest day of
my life is coming up and you and mom arent here to enjoy it with me." He said thickly. He leaned against the
stone and said sadly, "I really wished i had known you Dad, i really wish i had known you." He was so wrapped up
his personal grief that he didnt notice someone coming towards him."You shouldn't talk to yourself my boy, its the first
sign of madness." David jumped up, an old man was standing in front him, he looked arrogant and he looked devilish.
"Piss off, what the hell are you playing at, creeping about a cemetery like that, aint you got no respect for the dead?!
" He snapped,getting up and tidying himself down. The old man smiled, "My relatives are all buried here,
i like coming here, brings back memories and i know who you are as well." He added, grinning again. "Yeah,
of course you do, now get out my way before my fiancée wonders where i am." As he walked away, the old man
said quickly, "Your Pete's eldest, aren't you?" David stopped dead and turned on his heel, "What? Did you know my
dad?", he asked and the man nodded, "You could say that, he was my brother, i'm your uncle Harry." David was rooted
on the spot and Harry Beale gave a sad little wave and walked away.
