Pardon Me - Amanda Part 5

She: I did not realise. He: I could have given her the world then. Died for her, but it was not meant to be. I gave up, that was the hardest thing I have ever endured. I spent an entire two years without courtship. She: Maybe………. Maybe it was meant to be. Look at how we met I was young, stupid, and maybe even delusional. He: It is alright, we get past these rough edges. I must say you have not altered a bit. You still look very much ravishing. Even at the tender age of 65. I’m sure, someone for you will come about. She: I thought… Were you not courting……. He: No, I believe you got it wrong sweet Amanda. As I said a few days ago, you looked a lot distraught. I just wanted to lend an ear. And give you an encounter. To show you there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Cliché, yes, but it is true. I bear witness. She: Then why are you always here? Just to lend an ear. I thought…. He: Pardon me, I keep cutting you off. But my kids are done playing. And if I do not return, my wife will start a brawl. Pardon my sudden departure Amanda. There is light at the end of your own tunnel. Do not despaire. it was quite a pleasure to see you again. Please do keep well. © Herzel Poshiwa
