Dear Grace,
You were the love of my life and I didn’t even know it …And I let you go because of my ego.
We were both stationed in the Caribbean, in the Navy. I was young and stupid. You were young and beautiful. It was the most wonderful time in my life.
We worked together, we laughed together, we played together. Those romantic walks on the beach at sunrise, the way your hair would blow in the ocean breeze, the way you teased me. All these memories bring tears to my eyes.
Our love was pure joy. It was comfort, security, lust, companionship all rolled into one.
