Forgotten Memories

My eyes are growing weaker; words are blurred. Twilight approaches, but for me it's never too soon. With a smile, I close my eyes to life's harsh reality and wait for my love, who arrives with the moon. My vision clears, and in his hand is a blue velvet box. A kiss to my cheek and he offers me my favorite flower, fragrant blue violets and a beautiful engagement ring. Each night he makes me feel like a princess in a tower. I wish I could remember his name. Is it Dan, or Michael? He is so handsome but I remember he left to fight a war. He told me he'd send for me, but maybe he just forgot. Was it in France or... somewhere... some place very far. Bill? Maybe I have his name tucked in my box of secrets. I wonder what happened and why didn't he send for me? The only things inside the box are dried violets, a pretty ring, and this old piece of paper, an old plane ticket dated 1943. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> December 17th 2015 Combination of Three Words <> Sponsor: Laura Loo
