There was this couple. They had their problems. They fought. She was mean, and he was meaner. But they loved each other deeply.
One day, they fought again. Only this time, it didn’t get better. All they could think of is how it is finally going to be the last straw. They hung on for a little bit longer just to keep the love alive. However, it wasn't enough. She finally told him it was over. He was shocked. He could not believe it. He could not believe that after all this time, the inevitable has happened. He was so deeply in love that he was blinded by it. He could not accept it for never in his right mind would he had thought that it would be over between the two of them. After all, they fought often but were still together for three years.
The days went by. They didn’t talk much to each other at all. After barely talking for a week, she went to his house. His heart hit his throat. He had so many butterflies in his stomach that he thought he was going to throw up. He didn’t know what to say. She came in, laid her stuff down and they went to his bedroom.
She asked, "How are you?"
He simply replied, "I’m okay."
Neither of them said another word as they sat there. They turned to look at each other. His eyes started to swell and tears filled his eyes. She looked back with the same expression. Then, it happened.
She opened her mouth and simply said, "I miss you so much."
He didn’t know what to say. His mind drew a blank. After a moment, the words came back to him.
He looked back at her and replied, "I miss you so much too."
They started crying and he holds her to comfort her. She didn’t resist.
After that afternoon together, she left. Later, he went online on his computer to see if she was online. She wasn't. He waited for her to go online and hours went by but she remained offline. He waited as long as he could before going to bed. The next day, he received an email.
It says, "Hi, yesterday was great but you know it doesn't change anything. I still don’t want to be with you and I don’t know if I can see you anymore. I want to move on with my life."
It was as if someone hit him right in the head with a pipe. He was shocked again.
He felt confused and upset and all he could think of was, "Did I do something wrong?"
Time seemed to have slowed down as the days crawled by. Once again, he didn’t see her for a couple of days. Then out of the blue, she called. He picked it up on the first ring when he saw her name on the caller id. They talked and she asked about him. At the end of it, she said she had to go and she will talk to him later online. However, there were things he didn’t say, wanted to say and needed to say. He figured that he would just tell her later. He was delighted to meet her online later at night and started talking to her immediately. The conversation was good until she told him how she felt about not loving him anymore and wanting a new life.
Once again, it felt like he was hit on the head with a pipe.
All that went through his head was, "This can't be... I love her."
As much as he was reluctant to face up to reality, it was happening. She ended the conversation by telling him she had homework to do and had to shower.
Another week went by and they didn’t see each other until fate stepped in again. She came over to his place. He was happy that she did because he was not having a good day and he knew if he saw her his day would become so much better. She went right into his room again. They talked and watched television and he felt very close to her.
However in his mind, he was telling himself, "This isn’t real. It will be a repeat of what happened the last time."
They started to kiss after lying in bed together. He floated in the wind like a feather when his lips met hers. All his sadness and anger went away in an instant. They made love that afternoon. That would be the last time they see each other in a friendly manner. After that time, they started to fight. They fought a lot and their fights were filled with pure hatred with one another. It was not good and it didn’t look like it will get better any time soon.
He thought to himself, "Why be here if she hates me so much?"
He made plans to go away. He thought he could go anywhere as it did not matter. He got all his stuff ready for his trip when she started talking properly to him again. He was still furious but they talked in a civil manner. He thought it was finally getting better. And it was. Despite that, he wasn’t going to tell her about his plans to leave as he wanted the relationship to end on a high note.
He simply said to her, "Goodbye, I will be seeing you".
The next day, he left for his trip. Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months. Then on one sunny afternoon, she got a call to her house.
"Hello."
"Hi, is she there?"
"Yes, this is her."
"Hello Miss, this is the police. We regret to inform you that an accident has happened."
"What kind of accident?"
"Your friend died. He was hit by a truck head on... He died instantly."
She dropped the phone. She was in total hysteria. She couldn’t control her emotions but she had to calm herself down to find out more details about the accident.
"What? Where? How?"
"He was travelling down the highway when he was hit head on by a sleeping driver from the opposite lane. He never saw it coming. I'm so sorry."
"Do his parents know?"
"No, you were the first person on his list of people to call in case of an emergency."
"Oh I see."
She couldn’t believe it. She could not believe he is gone forever. She never got to say a real goodbye. She never got to tell him how she felt. At the same time, she felt anger.
Hence, she asked, "Well why didn’t you do anything for him?"
"Ma'am, there was nothing we could do. We tried our best we could but there was nothing we could do. We are sorry."
Tears streamed down her face like a waterfall. Everything the policeman said on the phone became a blur.
Then he yells, "Ma'am, are you still there?"
"Yes I am, sorry. What is it?"
"Well we found something on him. It’s a letter. It’s written to you."
"Oh. What does it say?"
"Ma'am, are you sure you want to hear it? We understand that you are in a delicate state right now. Maybe it would be in your best interests to read it at another time?"
"Please just read it to me."
"Ok Ma'am, this is what it says."
She can tell that he is a little upset himself as he gets his voice together. She puts the phone tighter to her ear.
"My dearest love,
I don’t know how this happened between us. I wished we could have been together forever like in your favourite movie. However, it did not work out and I know why. I never said what I wanted to say to you. I never told you how much you meant to me, how much I really love you and how you made my world complete.
I did not tell you I was leaving. I know it was stupid of me. I just figured that you would not have cared anyway. Therefore, I left. I could not accept us not being together but I wanted you to be happy. Hence, I let you move on with your life. I figured that it would be easy this way as in time, you would forget about me although I would never forget about you. I love you too much and I always will.
I probably won't give this letter to you either. I just want to give you your wish. Forget about me. I just hope that someday a man will love you as much as I did and I wish you can make him as happy as you made me everyday. I love you forever and ever baby. I will miss you. I will think about you. I just wish I told you how I really felt and told you that all the times we fought, I was in the wrong and very sorry from the bottom of my heart."
That was the end of the letter. She was in total hysteria. She was shaking so badly that she could not even hold on to the phone. All she could think of was how she never tell him how she felt and how she will never get the chance to do so again. The officer went on to say something else.
"Ma'am, are you still there?"
"Yes I’m here. Was that all of it?"
"Yes that was all. Once again I'm truly sorry. He really loved you I guess?"
"Yes he did, and I never accepted it. I truly loved him too."
"I know this hurts a lot Ma'am, but remember he would not want you to mourn. He wants you to be happy."
"Yeah well that’s a little hard as I won't be happy without him. I will never be able to tell him I love him more than words can speak."
"Yes I know that is tough. The best thing you can do is just love him even though he isn’t here. Remember he will always love you, even now."
"Yes, thank you."
"Well I have to call his parents and let them know. Are you going to be okay?"
"I will be fine. Thank you for letting me know and reading the note to me."
"You are welcome. Goodbye."
"Bye."
After his death, she couldn’t be happy ever again. She never told him how she ever felt in the past and had lost her opportunity. She spent the rest of her life, never really being herself anymore. She visited his grave for an hour everyday. She wanted to feel his presence. Some days, she felt his warmth on her and she knew that he was there with her. After many years, she passed away and her last wish was to be buried to the only man she ever loved so they can be together again.
One day, they fought again. Only this time, it didn’t get better. All they could think of is how it is finally going to be the last straw. They hung on for a little bit longer just to keep the love alive. However, it wasn't enough. She finally told him it was over. He was shocked. He could not believe it.
