A Gift for Mother's Day

Mom's gotta love them.

 At some point in our lives we all had one.

 

 Sometimes we drove them crazy

And sometimes they drove us crazy

 Robert Holiday - a former gang member now successful ranch owner. Lives his life with a broken heart.

They meet and fall in love and into bed.

His final letter to her.

 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. Ya 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

 Is this love affair never meant to be?
