She agreed with all her heart but couldn't understand why at the very moment she said yes, his face came to her mind.
"It was real, wasn't it? You and me. Such a long time ago, we were just a couple of kids. But we really loved each other, didn't we?"
He had come back into her life like a sudden flame, blazing and streaming into her heart. She stayed up all night contemplating the certain agony she knew would be hers, if she were to lose him twice.
"Why didn't you write me? Why? It wasn't over for me. I waited for you for seven years. And now it's too late." "I wrote you. I wrote you every day for a year. It wasn't over. It still isn't over."
It's crazy. I don't even know who that person is.
"I couldn't sleep last night because I know that it's over between us. I'm not bitter anymore, because I know that what we had was real. And if in some distant place in the future we see each other in our new lives, I'll smile at you with joy and remember how we spent a summer beneath the trees, learning from each other and growing in love. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. And that's what you've given me. That's what I'd hoped to give to you forever."
I know you feel lost right now, but don't worry, nothing is ever lost, nor can be lost. The body sluggish, aged, cold, the embers left from earlier fires shall duly flame again.
"When I'm with him I feel like I'm one person and when I'm with you I feel like someone totally different." "Look, it's normal not to forget your first love. I love you, but I want you for myself."
