February 1st

I remember the first day we met . You were at a war and I was just another person outside the door .

Many years came , you finally spoke up.

"  Will you be my girlfriend ?"

I squealed a little . I admit , I died a little on the inside .

I jump around like a little girl getting her candy saying sure .

 

April 5th . The day came .

You proposed to me . I have to admit your poem was cheesy but touching . Right after the wedding , you left for the army .

I miss you .

I miss you .

I love you .

I waited patiently at home for you to come back . It was days .

Finally , a letter came in dropped in by a postman . I sighed loudly and hugged the sweet rose scented letter . I knew it was from him , he smells like roses .

" Hello love ! I'm happily doing my duties here in Africa . I'm sorry I'm not back yet but I'll be back soon ! .  Don't miss me too much !

   Love x , Ryan "

 

April 7th .

I've waited days . And days . And days . I constantly check my mail box to see if there were any updates of Ryan . But no , none .

Suddenly while I was checking the mailbox a man in black came with a neatly folded envelope . I rush back in the house opening the envelope , it said ,

 

" Dear Kaitlyn , you are invited to the funeral of Ryan who unfortunately shot to death in a war on April 6th 8:30p.m. Our deepest condolonces for Ryan . We are very sorry for the tragedy .  The address is at  990 Bakersfield Cementary *  Held on April 8th . "

I couldn't take it any longer . I tore the paper . I couldn't believe what I read . I broke down . I shouted . I cried & slammed the wall . My hands bled like crazy but it didn't bother me . I finally stopped after realizing what Ryan would think if he saw me .

 

April 8th .

At funeral , I couldn't stop thinking about him . The memories we shared . The rough times .

He promise he'd be fine . But he's not .

I left a note on his cementary while tears dripped down my  cheeks .

" Dear Ryan , I know you may not be able to see this but I love you with all my heart . April 5th , I will never forget this lovely moment . It was the best day in my whole life . Now , I can't bother you anymore . You're in a better place . You're safer there without any thing distracting you or problems heading towards you . I know god loves you just as much as I do and he'll take good care of you . Goodbye dear , i love you . "
