Dearest D

Dearest D

It’s almost time for me to pack up my world tour and head to the pearly gates in the sky. The last time I checked my reservation in heaven wasn’t confirmed yet and if it’s full I might have to be put up in hell. Ha, ha! I know what you’re thinking. Nope! I’ll never change. I’ll always find a joke in even the most serious of matters in life. That gets me to what I really wanted to tell you in this letter. It’s quite important for me to say this to you because I don’t have the luxury to procrastinate any more.

Remember how I proposed to you? At the airport? Minutes before I boarded my flight? Yeah, I know, it was a long time back and a really goofy attempt. But what I said then still is true. I still love you very much. I am sorry I couldn’t get around to getting over you as you had suggested. Remember our little trip? Boy, was I sloshed or what? I tried everything possible to keep a distance from you but once in awhile in my drunken stupor I did get frivolous. I am sorry about that. I should have never done those things, like asking you if we could hold hands or if I could put my arm around you. I couldn’t resist. You were so beautiful that my defenses weakened. I remember when we were coming back, you accidentally held my hand for a few fleeting moments in the car while you were asleep. I can’t even begin to explain how I felt. Magical would be an understatement.

There are so many beautiful memories about you that I am carrying with me. I want to believe that even after death the soul still remembers everything that happened on earth. Because, I don’t want to forget anything about you ever.

I am lousy at goodbyes. As a matter of fact I hate goodbyes. When you get around to reading this letter I’d have been gone already. I’d like to wish you all the very best in life. Hope you meet prince charming and have pretty little kids who’ll grow up to be as charming as you. In a way I am glad I’ll be gone. I won’t have to watch you wed to another while I am still flesh and blood. Yup, jealousy was and still is one of my perennial problems. Anyway I am not going to make this any longer. I’ll end it here with an echo from the past…I love you.

Lots of love
P
