May 2015

I find myself sitting on a bench in Hyde Park watching my little children playing with other peers, it's odd how fast time flies. It seems yesterday when I met Hayley for the first time, when we shared our first kiss and became an official couple, when I married her and had these two beautiful kids. The same with Coldplay, 17 years ago we were playing together for the fist time with the name of Starfish, such a bad name! And a year ago we published our 6th album, Ghost Stories, and now we're working on the next, which is called A Head Full Of Dreams. Time runs and doesn't wait for nobody, at least who should run is us and after it to try to catch it, but everyone knows it's impossible.

Impossible. A word I thought it was the only one which could express myself in the past, by the way I was a total jerk, a disaster with everything. Maybe I was a little better in playing guitar, but for the rest I was bad. Chris, Guy, Will and Phil always told me I was good enough at doing other things too and tried to cheer me up. Sometimes Chris made me sing during Don't Panic, which has the simplest lyrics, in order to make me acquire some self-esteem, but I firmly believe I was and I am such a bad singer and it didn't help that much. I was a disaster even with girls, in fact every girl I dated ran away from me within a month. But then something happened and changed my perspective about myself, I began to believe in myself a bit more... And that something, that someone, was her, Hayley.

Since I saw her for the first time, I've been thinking she was and is special, different, but at the beginning I didn't know how many demons she carried on her shoulders. It was that desire to help her that changed me in better and made me become the man I am now. I don't want to think how could have been my life without her, I'm sure it would have been a nightmare.

I remember when day of our wedding I was tense and excited, especially when I was waiting for her to enter in the church and made her walk to the altar where I was standing. My hands were sweating for the excitement, I mean like Chris and to get at that point, you know... It was back in 2007 when me and Hayley became husband and wife, it seems yesterday when we were at that altar...

*flashback*

I wonder where she is, the ceremony should have started twenty minutes ago... What if she regretted and ran away? No no Jonny, you know she wouldn't do such a thing. She might be late, by the way she is usually. It's a warm day of April and the sun is up in the sky, there are few clouds and a light wind is blowing: the perfect weather. While I'm lost in my thoughts I hear some noise from the main big door of the church, she is here. I'm ready, we are ready.

She appears with her dad walking down the aisle like a divine creature in her white wedding dress. It is very long, tight, laced and with lots of diamonds, then a light veil is both on her face and down her back on her red hair, which are curled making a waterfall. She is so beautiful and stunning and she is smiling with her soft big lips on which is applied some coral lipstick.

When she approaches me, we look intensely in our eyes and turn our head to the priest, who is celebrating our wedding. It seems a dream that comes real, but this isn't a dream, it's my life that I chose to share and live with my lovely in-a-few-time wife. We share our vows and the priest pronounces us husband and wife:

"Now you may kiss the bride."

I kiss briefly but passionately her soft lips, then head outside the church where there are all our relatives and friends who are throwing some rice upon us, a family tradition. I can't stop smiling and looking at her with my heart full of love, what has done this woman to me? Then we reach the venue of our party which is a cool smart reception near the countryside of London, so there is a big garden outside and an artificial waterfall with some fountains.
