4 A Loss Replaced with a Promise

Those days were the happiest days of my life.

But, the present never lasts for long, and your father took you away from me.

He took you away from me, he stole you.

It would be a lie if I said that, over the years I didn't develop feelings for you.

In fact, I loved you.

I loved you with all of my heart.

And I still do.

Your father stole the one girl I would ever love throughout my whole entire life.

You had a fiancé.

When I received that piece of news, my heart plummeted.

It was like a twisting knife in my guts.

It hurt.

It hurt so much.

And yet, I couldn't feel a thing.

I felt hollow.

I felt so empty of everything, yet so full of nothing.

But you never knew, and you will never know.

Do you remember the promise?

The promise to you that I would come to you, even if you were in America, I would then get down on one knee and propose to you.
