13 days from today…
Even though I knew how things would end…I could not presume to have ever
foreseen the role we each was put to play. Despite it all, play it we did. We
had to bequeath much of who we were in the process …we all lost something dear
that can never be restored to its original state, for once it’s gone, it is
lost forever.
These words became
flesh as I looked upon all that I had lost. There it was. Or should I say,
there she was? The pure, undulated ache of not being able to touch her nearly
brought me down to my knees. Her presence alone was a force of nature; her soul
shone bright enough to blind and burn. And still, m hands itched with wanting
to reach out and take what was mine. But this was not the right time, I
repeated to myself. She needed to have her moment, I knew that…and I was not
selfish enough to take that away from her…but neither was I a martyr, so this
would not be the end of us.
But this is not how this story begins…for that,
we have to go back…13 days so, to be exact.
