I left New York feeling that I did the right thing. Before
I left on the flight, he came running out of nowhere and
to say his goodbye and how he was very happy to see me again.
I went home and tried to forget about what happened in New
York. I had to go on with my life. As the years went on,
we wrote to each other about our lives and how we missed
talking to each other.
On one occasion, he never wrote back even after a long
time. I got worried as I didn’t get any reply even
after writing six letters to him.
Just when I thought he had forgotten about me and everything
seemed hopeless, I got a note that said, "Meet me at
the fence where we used to talk about things."
I went and saw him there. I was happy to see him but he
was heartbroken and sad inside. We hugged so tightly that
we couldn't breathe.
He told me about his divorce and why he hadn't written
back for a long time. He cried until he ran out of tears.
We finally went back to the house and we talked and laughed
as we catch up on old times. Despite the good opportunity,
I still couldn't tell him how I felt about him. In the days
that followed, he had fun and forgot about his problems
and his divorce. I fell in love with him again. When it
was time for him to go back to New York, I went to see him
off and cried. I hated to see him leave. He promised to
see me every time he could get a vacation. I couldn't wait
for him to come so I could be with him. We would always
have fun when we were together.
One day he didn't show up like he said he would. I figured
that he might have been busy. The days turned into months
and I forgot all about it. Until one day, I got a call from
a lawyer in New York. The lawyer said that he had died in
a car accident on his way to the airport. It took a while
for them to settle things before calling me. It broke my
heart to hear the news. I was shocked to know what took
place. I realized why he didn't show up on that day like
he promised. I was heartbroken again. I cried tears of sadness
and heartache that night. He was such a kind man and did
not deserve to die so young.
I gathered my things and went to New York for the reading
of his will. He left his inheritance to his family and his
ex-wife. I met her for the first time since the wedding.
She explained to me that he was a good man and provided
for the family. However, he was always unhappy. She would
try everything but she couldn't get him to be happy like
the night at their wedding. When the will was read, I found
out he had left me a diary. It was a diary of his life.
I cried as it was given to me. I didn't know what to think
of it. Why was this given to me? I took it and flew back
to California. As I flew on the plane, I remembered the
good times that we had together. I started reading the diary
and what was written in it.
The diary started with an entry on the day we first met.
I started to cry as I read on. He had fallen in love with
me on that day I was heartbroken. However, he was too afraid
to tell me how he felt. That was why he kept quiet and listened
to me instead. As I continued reading through more entries,
I realized he wanted to tell me about how he felt many times
but he was always too afraid to say anything. He mentioned
that he went to New York and thought that he fell in love
with another person. But the happiest time he had in New
York was seeing me and dancing with me at the wedding. He
said he imagined it was our wedding. His later entries mentioned
that he was always unhappy as he realized he still loves
me and hence, he had no choice but to divorce his wife.
He said that the best time of his life was to read the letters
written by me to him.
He finally ended the diary with an entry, "Today I
will tell her I love her".
The entry was written on the day he was killed. The day
I was finally going to find out how he really felt in his
heart.
If you love someone, don't wait till tomorrow to tell him/her.
Maybe that next day will never come at all.
