Patti

I met her over thirty years ago.

For one day she was a part of my life and I thought she would be with me forever.

For one moment I thought I had found my everything,

But it was simply not to be.

Her beauty was understated.

And I have thought about that physical beauty for all these years.

To me she had the body of a ballerina.

Beautiful blue eyes, blonde hair. A nature about her where you want to wrap your arms around her and tell her you’re there to protect her. To love her for all eternity.

Patti and I talked for hours that day.

I told her all my dreams and aspirations and even some fears.

She told me the same and we looked in each other’s eyes and I thought we connected.

“I will see you again!” I called out as she walked away to go home.

She did not look back. She said nothing.

It was at that moment I knew Patti was gone forever.
