Letting Go
Feelin': Emotional (I get carried away easily)
Hummin': One Last Cry by Brian Mcknight
This is an excerpt from Chapter 15 that I have been writing for my fanfic, "Echoes of the Past."
How could could she live again without him in her life? It hurt once to lose him, but to lose him again when he was so close was more painful that she had ever imagined. She had visualized this morning to be different, to be the brightest of her days. A day that would signify a change in her life, in a future they will share once again.
But there was no “we” to think of anymore. Now that they had been given another chance, she was faced with the brutal truth that the love they used to share no longer existed. The bond they used to share had deteriorated over the years. It was time to wake up from her illusory dreams. Agonizing and difficult though it may be, she was left with no choice but to accept his decision.
She half-wished they did not meet again; maybe it would’ve been easier to forget him, or at least, bury him in her memories like she did for the past three years. It would have been easier to believe that he was dead and that nothing she could do could ever bring him back. But being able to see him again gave her a newfound hope for love.
A love that would never be requited.
An offering, a sacrifice that would never be returned...
