Tonight is not like any other one that has passed or may come. We may celebrate it together after years or I may sit alone, listen to the music I used to listen to with you, and do what I have been doing for years: imagining that you are with me. In all cases, it will surely be an unforgettable memory, and I believe in the power of memories; I know how they can make you smile when everything around is sordid, and how they dare spoil a charming day. Yet, you will never be one of the memories I try to forget because with you I knew what happiness is.
Here, is the best place for this event. Its serenity and beauty will encourage me to make it a truly special day. Should I hold you close to feel the answer from your heart beats? Or should I see it in your eyes? I am not sure which one is more honest. Why cannot I see anything but your face? Why are these vast sands too narrow? Why the sound of your breath and my heart beats are much louder than the waves? Why are these words, though true, so hard to say? I have to remind myself first that I am initiating this step to set myself free from the steel bars of imagination.
Whatever your answer is, the only thing that it can do is make us fall apart physically, and only physically, so I will not retreat. Sweetheart, I am in love with you regardless of all the problems that may come in our way. When I was younger, I used to think that I can have it all, but as I grow older I realize that we have to sacrifice many things to have what we cannot live without. I will sacrifice being the first and the only in return for being yours. I don’t care about the beautiful white gown, or the cake we will serve; I just need that paper that makes us legally, not only emotionally, bound to each other. A far, quiet, and small home is enough for the fruits of our love to grow, hopefully, exactly like you, and a ring having your name inside is enough for me.
Trying to take me away from you, they say that love is not enough and that being happily married is a matter of mental choice. If they truly understood what love is, they would believe that love is more than enough. Love is care, tenderness, and safety. Love is devotion, faithfulness, and forgiveness. Love is so many things that cannot be described by mere words. They told me, before you decide, you have to expect the worst thing that may come your way and see if you can tolerate it or not. I told them that it is not a decision, but imagined the worst. The worst for me is living without you. If you leave for me a part of you, it will not be so hard to tolerate.
Maybe after all these I find out that I do not mean more than a friend to you. There is no use to think about problems and try to find solution for them when everything may end in a moment. If I am seeing you for the last time tonight, tell me what do you feel towards me and what do you think of me, and promise me that you will always remember me. Tell me that you will miss me just as I will. Tell me any other reason to depart rather than not being in love with me. Do not hesitate to give me a hug that says I wish you were mine. Remember this may be the last date, so make it just as splendid as the first one. Again, whatever your answer is, I will forever be spiritually bound to you.
