A Love Remembered

Decades ago, as a young teen grappling with fear, I let go of my first love.

At just 16, I ended things with my high school sweetheart, not believing I'd ever see him again.

Unexpectedly, he moved to Texas, turning our goodbye into reality. Years passed,

and I came across his obituary. He had lived a fulfilling life with a devoted wife and two amazing

children. He was the soulmate who slipped away, the love that remained etched in my heart.

I never knew that our parting words would come true, nor if Texas was always his destination.
