Silent Moments

This is a story biased from true events in my life, some elaborated and some not, about a boy named Daniel and the very difficult obstacles that were put in our path. One challenging move from Las Vegas, Nevada to Fort Walton Beach, Florida, separated us for over a year. While the feelings of love were still evident in me, I had no way of knowing how he felt. All I had were his letters, the very letters that eventually stopped coming which lead me to a spiraling depression of confusion, love, and hatred. Forgetting everything was the best solution I could come up with, a distraction was the next step, but would I be willing to do it? Could I forget everything, our love, our sacrifices, our dreams; and distract myself with another, who could never compare to Dan? Or would I be able to hold on to a single thread of hope that we will, at least once, someday cross paths and rekindle what we once shared?

Just so that you all are aware, I changed the individual’s names in this story, including my own, to give them some security.

Enjoy!
