When I saw her standing there I got weak in the knees. I didn't know what to do. Should I run away? That was my first thought. I didn't want to face the pain. It was like I saw the ghost of the love of my life, but I knew that she was no ghost.
Then I thought maybe I should go and talk to her. It is what I really wanted to do, but I know that deep down in the back of my mind, I was hoping that some how seeing her again, I could reach out and touch her heart in some way that could show her the love that I still carry in my heart for her.
I was hoping that I could reach out my hand to her, and she would once more take hold of it. That very day I had been thinking about her, as I do every day. I was thinking, If she only knew how much I truly love her, then maybe see would come back to me. Then I thought to my self, "don't be a fool. If she didn't know how much you loved her then, that she never will". Then I thought, I think she knew how much I loved her, but that doesn't matter if she doesn't share those same feelings.
I wonder if I will ever find someone who could ever make me feel the way she made me feel. So high on her love, and the breathless, week knee-ed feelings I got when she was near. I got those same feelings again the night I saw her again. I miss those feelings so desperately, as I miss her, and the life that I once shared with her. I know that our time together was not all that long, but it was long enough from me to know that I could have been happy with her all of my day.
So many times when the phone rang, I wished it was her, but it never was. I never pursued her and I never sent her half of the letters that I held for her in my heart. But I would do anything in the world to be, once again by her side. My love for her still remains, and it is true, and it is strong. Should she ever come back to me , how happy I would be. I have so much love to give, and it's all for her. I wish she would only accept it, but if she will not, she will not.
Yes, I wish that we could one day get back what we once shared. This is my dream, and sometimes dreams do come true. She was my dream come true for a time. I can't forget her, and I wouldn't even try to if I though I could. The time and the Love that we shared will live on forever in my heart mind and soul.
