Decades later, they met!
Looking at him, she asked ‘are you not gonna come near, are you not gonna touch me, are you not gonna hold me tight?’
Sighing heavily, he looked up.
As he gazed at her, he said ‘I will hold you, I will hold you as I’ve always held you but ….’
Her heart dropped and with tears rolling she cried ‘there shouldn’t be a but’
Wiping her tears, he said ‘But if I do now, remember that I will not let you go, remember that this time around I have nothing to lose except you’
As she pulled herself together, she held his hand and said ‘but this time around, I’m all yours’
