Buried memories

Buried Memories part 2

In the other day I didn't saw him I was looking everywhere but I couldn't find him anywhere.

It was my guarding shift that night and at midnight I heard the barking of the dogs outside so I went to check out I saw a man is laying down in front of outside door when I went down to check, it turn out to be that old man I asked why are you here don't you have a home I have lost my home from long time ago he answered then with a sad voice he said they didn't let me in, the guards they won't let me look at my dream even from far away

I let him inside and gave him some of my food to eat

Then we talked about life and I really enjoyed his company he was a man full of experiences full of dreams I was wondering how he ended up to be like this.

Then after a while, I asked him why he just doesn't travel to Miami Beach and be happy

It's not so far from here California and it won't cost a lot of money

I knew that he was hiding some deep feeling inside him,

He said how can I be happy if I travel to a special place but in a different time and the person who I want is not there anymore?

The first thing came to my mind was love,

He said I remember my honeymoon in Miami Beach my wife the love of my life

"The smell of her hair and the brightness of her face with blue eyes and white face and her warm kisses on my lips the shining of her cheeks and her soft body that hugged me would fill my empty heart"

Now it's all gone son

She was everything that I have lived for she is out of this world now

In case you are asking why I always keep coming here every day

I met her for the first time in this place son the two of us happen to be traveling to the same place (Miami) and even our seats were beside each other I never believed in magic but believe me son this was a magic happened we fell in love on the plane and we decided to spend our holiday together it was that quick that we decided to marry in Miami and spend the honeymoon in Miami Beach,

since then every year we would travel to Miami beach on our wedding anniversary but after she died I decided to go there every year on our wedding anniversary day and try to fresh those memories again

And when is the wedding anniversary I asked

He answered its tomorrow son and I can't get a ticket to travel there I'm an old broke man now and what is left on this old body is only memories only sweet bitter memories

I connect with her every day by my soul he said

Poor old soul, I answered

He gazed at me for a while and then said son do you think souls get old or even collapse?

I believe it gets old but does not collapse I think I said

He answered

When I was a baby I was crying for the things that I have lost

Now I'm crying for something that I have lost and I'm an old man now

What's difference?

I believe you are right I said

Dear friend I said I already bought a ticket for two of us for I knew that you need it a lot and I bought it for myself because I want to go with you and discover the real love in this world He couldn't say anything while I saw the tears of joy coming down in his eyes.

Since we got there he was the happiest man alive and I was happy too

I said I have one question dear friend and I believe that you have the right answer

I asked how you think two souls fall in love ?

Souls aren't born single son he said they born as couple and for each soul has its soul mate and when you find your soulmate everything about her will be sweet to you and the soul has no choice but to follow it's soulmate and if a soulmate died in this life it doesn't mean that it leaves its soulmate alone their body disappears but you can still feel their souls connected with your soul She is always with me I know and that's why I keep remembering my buried memories my sweet bitter memories.
