The Note

This is a little self pitying, but hey see what you think gaheris three on the way.
To appease Jo and for Steph.

He read the note again, the fifth time since he’d found it. He no longer looked at the words, he knew them by heart, but she had written them.
His heart skipped a beat for her, he thought of her all through the day and at night she invaded his dreams, a phantom; so sweet, so vivid, he could almost feel her next to him.
He stared out at the beach, the flowing golden sand and the sea calmer than he’d ever seen it, the serenity filled him with peace.
He held the note to his heart, his eyes filled with tears, the irrational tears of love. He shook his head; he was so happy but she wasn’t here and he wanted to be with her.

He stood the note still clutched in his hand. They had met such a short time ago but he couldn’t remember a time before her, it was as though she had always been there.
He wanted her with him, wanted to hold her to feel her kiss, the magic of the time they’d spent together filled his mind. The memories of her touch, her kiss her embrace…

He walked along the sand, the rough grains grated between his toes as the swash gently lapped his feet. The soft breeze brought the smell of salt to his nose, and more thoughts of her to his mind.
