An Offer to Remember

We’ll always have Paris

Originally published on Medium on November 5, 2022. View original

My darling, my love,
my Diamond, Platinum, Gold or Silver,
there’s so much
I want to say to you.

How you showed me the world,
how you made me feel special,
how you made me feel valued.

The first time we met,
you said you wanted to stay with me
at every step of the journey,
then announced, “I love you”
in front of all the passengers.

I couldn’t believe what I’d heard.
I couldn’t let myself.

But when our trip came to an end,
you emailed me every single day,
reminding me of our special time together,
and how there could be so much more.

Everything about me interested you.
You would follow me around,
asking my preference,
remembering my choices,
you wouldn’t let me out of your site.

You wanted to know who I am,
you wanted to understand my desire,
you tried to expect my every want and need.

Oh,
how you would spoil me
with the latest offerings,
asking me to fly away with you,
reminding me the world is at our fingertips,
every moment is precious,
and we should not wait but act now.

My dearest,
it breaks my heart
to think of you and the loss you must feel.

But I’m a foolish woman.
I have fallen in love,
when I couldn’t afford to.

I hope you find someone
who truly deserves you,
who checks all the boxes
and means it too.

But darling, please forget about me.
This is my work email.
