too Soon

time stood still (Bill Temple)

time stood still

she entered his name

in the

'discover' box

.

she stared at the name

it had been so long since she had seen it

she wasn't even sure

if

the profile

still existed

.

even though she had

remained on the

'site'

all these years

she couldn't bring herself to

look

until today

.

she pressed

'enter'

he was the first

'suggestion'

.

her breath caught in her chest

and

tears

immediately

came to her eyes

.

it was as though

time stood still

.

she clicked

on his name

his profile

immediately

was on her screen

.

she touched the screen

tears once again

filled her eyes

.

slowly she scrolled down

a poem

caught her attention

one they had

written together

all

those years ago

.

"Oh my God," she whispered

.

she opened the file

she looked at the

'dedication'

a much younger

version of her

.

he was so much older

than she was

but

the

attraction

was immediate

.

she reached for the Kleenex

on the desk

.

they were so in love
