THE LOVEBIRDS - Complete

Chapter 2, "If only..."

If tears could water the fields of life

And sadness were a song

I would cry for the gods to hear

And heaven won't keep you long

If love could cause the world to fall

And passion to raise the sea

I would kiss the clouds and close my eyes

And heaven would set you free

No goodbye nor one farewell

A sign to say you're gone

Before I knew it your soul was lost

But for always you'll be my one

Serena Lee

Time passed it had been months since Candy and Terry simultaneous death. Life went on. Susanna was feeling very bad, crappy in fact. She had realised what her selfishness had done to the man she said she loved; it had killed him and Candy. She thought she would kill their love but in fact she killed them both!

She was a reception one evening in New York City and she saw Albert. She was so happy to see him! And him too! They bounded together over the death of their mutual spouses. They hugged.

- Albert! She said, it's so good to see you!

- Susanna, are you ok?

- No...I need you. Just hold me...

- All right...

Albert complied and he felt a lot better too. It was like their misery brought them together.

- I feel much better she said, when she let go of him

- Me too... you want to get out of here? We could go have a drink in my penthouse...

- All right, the house feels too cold and too sad. I put it up for sale...I'm going to look for a small apartment.

- I've got an apartment building... I could sell you one...

- Really?

- Yes, if you want I can take care of the sale of your house...

- Let's go then, she said taking his arm.

Albert had a driver waiting for him. They brought him to his penthouse and when they got there, Albert made a drink for her, a martini...
