"You stand up for what you believe in, even if it gets you in the way of what others think..."

My photo
if i could use one word to describe my life SERENDIPITY seems to fit the space... i stumbled upon my husband during a time i shouldn't have and my story goes on from there... constantly falling or stumbling upon remarkable gifts and people who bring fortune to our lives... when we fall we learn and strive toward the next step.

once upon a time~

do you believe
 in l♥ve
do you believe
that their is a person out there waiting to be
do you believe
 that their is another who is truly meant to be


Once upon a time
their was a boy and girl
they met at the young age of 12
for three years they talked together
walked together
laughed together
waved hellos and goodbyes to each other
but only during school hours
3 years passed quickly
and soon their friendship came to an end

years passed
and his name she would hear
but never a face did she see

life was ever changing
as she had now graduated
and lived on her own for some time

she woke up one warm summers day
walk out onto her deck
took a deep breath in
exhaled slowly

she was content in her life
she was in a place she had wanted for so long
her love of 6 years had finally proclaimed upon his return
he would ask her father for her hand

she stared out
looking deep within the greenbelt that lay
painting her scenery so lush and rich
wondering could life get any better than this

the beeping of her coffee pot
brought her back to reality
aaahhhh
thursday
one more day
 time to get to work
she hopped in the shower
dressed quickly
walked into her kitchen
poured a cup of hot coffee
and proceeded back to her deck

jump ahead a few hours
the work bell was ringing
her day was nearing the end
she ran her time card through the slot
and headed to her car

she picked up her phone
mom are we still on for dinner?
yes dear, why don't you come get me and will head down
i should be there in about 20 mins

20 some minutes later
her car is filled with the spicy scent
crimson and clover
sang
for all to hear

they made their way to dinner
lounged as if it were theirs
and only theirs
dreamed dreams of far away
travels and adventures
in hopes for one day

a few hours past
their plates with traces of desert left behind
no coffee left in their cup
her mother said
we should probably go

as they made their way back home
scheming what tomorrow would bring
a car pulled out of a neighborhood
mere inch or so from hitting her

she looked at her mother
are you kidding me
you a**

she sped up and pulled along side this little gray car
turned her head

it was he she was looking at

hunny the light is green
are you going to go
hunny

oh my gosh
its  been so long
that was him
that was who
that was the one i used to...

hunny you need to drive
she stared at the car
as it turned to the left
she drove straight
looking up at the horizon
a sky painted pink

hunny are you alright
ya she said
sorry
i just can't believe it

she pulled into her mothers place
see you tomorrow
yup, love you
love you to sweetie

sleep well my dear

she backed out and headed to her place

sleep was an understatement that night
she woke in the morning exhausted from her dreams
worn from her thoughts
why ever was she thinking of him

she stumbled out of bed
and same routine
just another day
headed to work
only to be transfered to a different location

hell
this is going to be hell today
yet to her surpirse her day carried on effortlessly
and was able to leave a few hours early

as she hopped in her car
she found that she was no longer driving her usual route
she was driving straight
without a thought
without a care
as if being driven by some force
she turned on her blinker and made a right turn
her heart started beating
her hands started shaking
she pulled her car slowly to the curb
put it in park
and turned to her left
looking up at this house
the house where hopefully he would be

12 years has passed
a look shared between two
no words spoken
but a feeling
they both knew
a connection
a pull so strong
a force that could not be broken

the universe making plans for a day
when two were least expecting the next turn
was it all part of a plan
was it what was meant to be
just time needed to go on by
for these two to meet again

12 years have passed
many bumps and bruises along the way
paths twisted then smoothed
but these two
are together
sharing a life of love
 a love like no other
a force that still brings them together
a desire that still is overflowing
and makes her heart skip a beat

~to be continued tomorrow~

Not only am I loving your story, but "The Letter" is one of my favorite faerie paintings. I think she's so beautiful and the look upon her face says so much. It goes so perfect with what you have been writing.

Ahhhh love~ As heartbreaking as it can sometimes be, there's nothing more beautiful. Nothing.
