To Britain With Love

where do i begin
i remember the first night we met
it was 1996 at the splash club in London
and i had a huge crush on you
over the years i've grown to love you
for so many reasons
Manchester
Bristol
Exeter
and Nottingham
to name a few
you've watched me bleed
bruise
sweat
and scream
and you've never been afraid of me
i don't blame you for what they've written about us
or our relationship
no one really understands it
not even me
i love it when that happens…
