The Memory's of Love
Do you have someone you love particularly? Or someone that you couldn't live without? Please feel free to comment and tell me who and if you liked the short story?
The sun was beginning to set and Titan peered over the edge of the pier. This is where we used to come and talk. Tears glistened in her light brown eyes and she pulled out a tissue quickly wiping away the evidence of weakness. Even though the doctors strongly advised her to stay away from the peer she went everyday right before the sunset. The ocean reminded her of his calm facade and mesmerizing eyes. She would never listen to the doctors and wouldn't be put down because of her old age. No one would ever hold her down and no one would ever take her away from her true love. That bring up new memory's and she closed her eyes thinking of the old days.
Do you know how it feels to wake up and look in his eyes? I can still see his azure green speckled eyes and cocky smile that made my blood boil. The way the sun glinted off his eyes made him seem so innocent and pure. He was mine and I was his, of course. I made no objections to this fact and if people saw us together they just knew. I was his sunshine and he was my one and only teddy-bear. I remember when he made the long four-hour trip to see me in West Palm Beach. I remember our first car ride together it was magical and I will never forget it. We got in and I just looked at him and knew; Wow I'm totally and completely in love with this man. He made me laugh when I wanted to cry. He made me smile when I wanted to frown. I'd hate him then love him; Don't understand. You will one of these days everyone has their turn. Love is a humorous thing, you see, it seems to come up to you and slap you straight in the face.
No warning and no signs foretelling will it last or not.You'll know when you meet him and even if it doesn't last at least you had a taste. I remember the first time he said he loved me; I think I may have lost my grip on reality. I thought he was messing with me then noticed he really does love me. I panicked for sure. I saw what love did to my friends and family. It made you hate, sad, happy, bipolar, hold grudges but most of all, it broke you. It brings out all your insecurities and places them in front of a stage for all to see. You have no defense because, is there really a defense for love? I don't think so because if there was, I would've been the one to find it. I fought the notion of him loving me thinking I was unlovable. I thought he could find better and that's what I stick with to these days. When I look back and think of him; the way we used to just ride around in his truck just to be with each other. The best of times just happened when we were with each other. We didn't stalk much just looked and absorbed the longevity of the love we had shared over the passing years. The way he used to whisper he loved me before going to work and before we fell asleep in the night.
The sound of the children coming up behind her brought her out of her trance.
"Mom it's time to go, ok." She sighed and looked over the edge one last time before nodding.
Not too longer my love, not much longer, until I join you.
