Love lost and found

There he was. The love of my life was stood in front of me with a gun directed at my chest. My heart beat so fast that I couldn’t hear any sounds around me and all I could see was the way he looked at me. I stared into his eyes and tears streamed down his face. I’d known him since primary school and we had become soul mates from the day we met or even the second we laid eyes on each other. Here we were, 20 years later, stood in an old abandoned warehouse in the middle of nowhere, with no-one around and no-one to help, stuck in a situation where I was sure there wasn’t a way out.

It was a frosty winter’s morning about 5 years ago. The snow was settled on the floor, covering it with a thick, white blanket. I was snuggled up in bed when there was a faint knock on my bedroom door. It was him. He came in and lay on the bed next to me. This is a guy that you just adore because he’s simply gorgeous. The light brown hair, the sea blue eyes and his gentle and funny personality. There was no doubt that i was in love with Taylor Pattinson.
“Hey you.” He said with a soft smile. “Hey.” I replied.
“I was thinking as it’s snowing we need to do something today, like go for a walk in the park maybe.” He was so sweet when it came to pleasing me. We both turned onto our sides and looked at each other.
“Yeah sure, just wait downstairs then while I get changed.”
“Well, can’t I stay in here then while you do that?”
“Ha, No, now get out you.” He got off the bed and headed for the door. He turned round and smiled at me before closing the door behind him.

The pond in the park had frozen over and a thin layer of snow covered the ice. As we walked side by side, our breath’s merged together in the cold air, and our hands were slowly turning blue. We found a bench and brushed all the snow onto the floor so that we could sit down.
“Beth?”
“Yeah?”
“I’m moving to London.” Moving!? i screamed in my head.
“When?”
“In a week. I’m so sorry.” And that was it, I was in tears. I couldn’t have him leave, I loved him too much. I stood up and walked over to the nearest tree. As always when I was upset, he followed. He wrapped me in his arms and hugged me tightly. He drew away and wiped away the tear that was running down my cheek with his thumb and then gave me a long, slow kiss. I opened my eyes when it came to an end and took his hand in mine.
“Why did you do that? That one kiss is gonna make everything more complicated now and harder for me.”
“I’m sorry it just felt like the right moment. I’ve been waiting to do that for so long. I really don’t want to leave you but an amazing job has opened up in London and it’s the only chance I’m going to get.”
“What’s the job?”
“That’s not important right now. Beth, I am so sorry.” I couldn’t handle it so I went home leaving him to walk home on his own.

The day he left, he came along to say goodbye, leaving me with a letter. We exchanged one last long kiss and he went on his way. I ran upstairs to my room to read the letter…

‘Beth,
I want you to know how sorry I am for leaving. I will think about you everyday and pray that we will meet again some day. This is my last chance to say it so here goes, I love you Beth, I have since the moment we first met and you have been the one thing on my mind ever since. 19 years in the making I feel our friendship has become much more but I’ve just never had the guts to come out and say it until now and now it’s too late. We will see each other again Beth, I’m just not sure when that’ll be. Grr… I promised myself I wouldn’t cry while writing this. I will love you forever and always my Beth. Never forget me and I will come back for you someday, I promise. Tay x’ …
To be continued till i can be bothered to write some more :) x
