The Night I Fell in Love.

My granny’s house, a battle of misunderstanding is fought there.

A fire set by two boys, mischievous, meaning no harm, but there is harm done.

The ones I love are there, I grab Bella, I take control, I scream “Flee”

But I lead them in the wrong direction…

Bella and I escape at the last moment, they do not…

I see them die, as the house falls down, flames are everywhere..

Then I see their ghosts, still standing in the burning coals of the fallen home...

Everything turns slow, as I walk through the rubble.

Each Spirit smiles at me “it’s okay” they seem to say.

In the distance I hear a song, it’s “Look Away” by Chicago, but its sang as a country song.

I walk past them all, holding Bella in my arms… I come to Tara, she is the last one I see.

Her face is so understanding, she looks to me with a smile as I start to cry…

“I’m sorry I didn’t love you better,” I say, and she just smiles.

 

 

I cannot tell the dream without crying…  I had prayed that night for God to show me the truth.. When it was over, I knew I would never find what I had in Tara, and how lucky I was to have the people I have in my life.  I married her a few months later.
