You and Me

Thank You

Bury all your secrets in my skin
Come away with innocence, and leave me with my sins
The air around me still feels like a cage
And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again..

We were driving for a couple of minutes now. She looked at me a few times and smiled, I couldn't help but smile back and put my hand on her right thigh. I lover her. I love her so very much. She's the most beautiful living being, and she is sitting right next tome. I was so stupid..

After a while I finally said.

"I'm so sorry for what I ha-" She didn't let me to finish my apology.

"Shush babe, there's nothing-" She looked over.

"No, let me finish. This will sound so silly Carol, God knows I'm not hat type of person that would talk like this, but here we go.. I never ever felt something like that feeling I feel to you every time I look at you. You are the most important essential to my happiness. I never stopped loving you. I never did. I'm sorry for being a jerk, I'm sorry for being an asshole. Forgive me, I-"

"Will you marry me Amelia?" She looked over and I saw a ring in her hands. My hands started watering and I could see that she was crying as well.

"Yes!!" I put the ring on and kissed her.

"I love you." She said.

"I love you too." I answered.

We forgot that we were still in a moving car. It was crazy and she couldn't prevent this. The only thing I remember before the blackout was a huge light and that we hit something.

I woke up after a few minutes. There was blood blood everywhere. Every little move was panful.

"Carol?" I started panicking. "Carol where are you? Are you okay???" I saw her lying next to me covered in blood. "Carol?!" I started crying. I held her closed and kissed her. The firemen, police and the ambulance came. I was still holding her and crying. They got us out and they took me away from her.

I woke up on the next morning to a huge pain around my ribs. The nurse came in to check me and I asked her what happened. She told me about everything and also mentioned the fact that I had 2 broken ribs and cerebral haemorrhage.

"Where is Carol? Carol Rooney? She's my fiancée." I still had hope.

"Didn't they tell you Miss?"

"No?"

"Oh.. I'm so sorry Miss, but the injuries were too big, they couldn't do any-"

And I was not listening anymore.

I was not communicating, eating for months. I stayed at a mental hospital for a year.

- 10 years later -

And here I'm today. I'm still wearing my ring I got from here, I never ever took it off, but now I have a different ring next to hers. I got married 5 years after her death. Her name is Karen, she's 36 - I'm 32. She saved me.

We have two wonderful kids - Carol 4 and Lenna 2, the third is on the way. Of course my wife and our kids know about my first love. We all visit her at the cemetery on her birthday, on Christmas. Without them, I would never be able to handle the pain.

We love in a big house with out dog Judy and cat Meg.

...

So this was my story.

THE END.
