(If you want to you can listen to I won’t give up by Jason Mraz. While you read. At the dots pause for ten seconds.

I hope you enjoy!😊)

“It was the best day of my life,” I whispered, my mind wandering.

“What happened?” Nik asked, his sweet, small eyes meeting mine.

They reminded me so much of Maya.

I smiled, “Everything.”

………………………………………………………………..

“I’m Damon,” I smile, the sun making her eyes shine.

“I’m Maya,” she smiled back.

……………………………………………..:…………………

“It was you!” Maya shouted, “You broke my heart! . . You broke it.”

Her pale blue eyes met mine, tears streaming down her face.

I didn’t answer, I stood still my heart cracking every second I didn’t speak.

She shut her eyes hard, “I guess that’s my answer.”

I watched her leave, tears sliding down my cheek. All I wanted to do was run after her, but I didn’t. I let her leave.

Maya never spoke to me again. And neither did I. Maybe it was just how it was supposed to be.

………………………………………………………………..

I smiled as I saw the bright stars. They’d never shined this bright.

“Maya,” I whispered. That’s who it reminded me of.

My heart ached, a feeling I’d grown to hate.

I pulled my phone out, my back round picture still of us smiling I had never looked that happy, even all this time.

“Damon?”

I turned around.

“Damon,” it’s Maya her eyes streaming with tears, “I’m so sorry.”

I stand still, it’s been years. Too many.

“I can’t live without you,” she continued, “No one can. I’m not giving up. I love you.”

A smile forms on my face, I rush over to her.

My hands on her cheeks as we kiss.

“Maya, I’m sorry,” I say, my hands still glued to her cheeks.

She cries a sound almost like laughter, “I love you, Damon. I’ll always love you.”

“I’m never leaving,” I whisper, “I’m going to marry you.”

Maya smiled, her face inches from mine, “I know.”

………………………………………………………………..

“I’ve never felt this way,” I smile, Maya’s hair blowing in the wind, with her white dress.

“I love you, and I’ll always remeber this moment. For both of us.”

Maya smiled, “Damon, I’m sorry I gave up on us. But I’m here now, and I’m never leaving. Your stuck with me. I love you, and I’ll love you as long as the stars are shinning. As long as my life will let me. I’ll never stop.”

……………………………………………………………….

Nik smiles his eyes lit with joy, “Really?”

He asks.

I nod, “Really.”

He laughs, “It’s like the movie Mommy was watching.”

I laugh, my eyes looking up to meet Mayas.

She’s crying her, hand in her mouth.

I smile, tears sliding down my cheek.

“Grandpa?” Nik asks, “What’s wrong?”

I shake my head forming a smile, “Nothing, Nik. Just never give up. Always fight, always try,” I keep my eyes on Maya’s, “Never forget that.”

Nik climbs off my lap, and runs into Maya’s open arms. She hugs him close, her eyes smiling just like the day I first saw them.
