fate has a curious sense of humor, eight years later, they wake up in bed
together. Now it is up to love to fix what time cannot mend.
Excerpt – G
Julie's mother handed a
crinkled envelope to Julie. "Robert gave it to me before he went to
Vincent's to get you. He didn't ask for it back. He probably forgot about it. I
thought you might like to read it." With a loving motherly hug, Mrs.
Anderson wished her daughter happiness in her marriage and said it was time the
mother of the bride made her entrance.
Julie's fingers trembled as
she opened the envelope.
Hi,
If
you're reading this then something went wrong and I guess I'm dead. Sorry. But
that's only one more screw up to add to my list. I've messed things up a lot in
this relationship. Why do people who should never be together fall in love?
I
should've never met you and I certainly shouldn't have fallen in love with you,
but I did. I never stopped loving you once in the years we were apart. Telling
you this now seems a little stupid, I guess I should've done it before I let
you go back to Langston.
A
long time ago - in high school - we had to write an assignment for our last
English essay. You and I had broken up and everyone was mad at me for being
such a bastard. For my essay, I handed in a poem. Yea me, I wrote a poem. Mrs.
Wolmsely liked it - hell, she gave me an "A".
She
wanted to read it in class. She was hoping you'd forgive me. Which is exactly
what I didn't want. I wanted you to go dance. I wanted you to live out your
dream. I'm sorry I screwed up on that. Anyway, this is my poem. I've revised it
a bit. It was only two verses long then. I wanted to call it LOVE SUCKS, but I
didn't think Mrs. Wolmsely would like that.
She
possessed my being -
Gave
me a future -
A
life.
Our
souls intertwined -
Fantasies
fulfilled
But
Reality
intruded.
One's
dream realized
One's
destroyed.
A
heart broken
The
pain -
Where
a heart should be
A
void existed.
The
expanse of days
Became
years.
A
dream withered.
By
chance -
Two
faces meet
And
smile
Lips
touch
Love
strikes once more.
My
being possessed -
Desires
fulfilled -
A
dream revived.
A
future
With
Love!
I
don't know why I told you all this. All I wanted to do is tell you I love you,
but it seemed cold and impersonal on paper. Please don't grieve for me.
Remember our good times together. Forget the bad stuff. Have a happy life, full
of love and joy.
With
Love,
R
She
caressed the line "With Love." She'd chosen the correct inscription.
She'd chosen the correct man.
