The stars were aligned on the day we found each other. The moon was smiling at us with its rays of light . We were young and naive..actually we were young and stupid. This was a long time ago though , he is long gone by now. Maybe he still lives in Washington , or maybe he moved to New York , I lost track where he would go . His parents never liked to stay in one place for too long , but don’t i wish he was still here . The last night we were together I remember with vividness , we were at the beach , about to go into the waves , and that's when he blurted it out

“I'm moving to washington”

I heard my heart shatter into a million pieces , the earth felt like it was upside down. I tried to hold my tears in but he pulled me closer to him and hugged me. It was astonishing how this kid could make me feel so warm with just one hug. I felt loved , I never wanted that to fade , me and him were meant to be forever.

“I will be back I swear”

I didn't want to say anything to ruin the moment , I just wanted to be here in this moment with him. I knew nothing lasts forever..I just hoped this would last for a while longer. I loved him ,with all my heart, I knew the thought of him could never fade. He would visit me often with a little girl. I never paid much attention to there conversation , I was too busy wallowing in my own sorrow.

“Why do we come here every few months dad”

“Because hunny I don't want you to forget your mother”

“I think you should let go now she has been dead for 3 years”

“Yeah , I think i should”

That's when i rolled over in my grave , I’m disappointed that he is moving on but it is about time. It's been 3 years after all...but it feels longer.
