Little to Late

      It was a rainy saturday night when I answered the door and I saw my first love standing there. What was he doing here? I hadn't seen him in over ten years. What was he doing here? After all this time, after all the times I cried over him. He wanted to leave this town, and I only wanted to be with him. A mix of major emotions were running all through me, that I could almost fall over. Then I looked at him, into his eyes, they were still as deep and blue as the first time I looked into them. When I looked into his eyes, all of the memories of our relationship came flodding all back like a movie reel. The very first time we met, the first time we talked, our first date, our first kiss, all the fun times we had togather, our first fight, the backup and him leaving, and me crying. It all came back to me.
     I realized that he was still standing in the rain, getting soaking wet, I snapped back into reality and said
"Luke" taking a deep breath in as I said his name
"What are you doing here?" I asked
He was about to say something, I could tell. But he let the thought go and we we standing in silence again.
"Oh daer. You're soaking wet, come inside, please, before you get sick or something" I said hoping to break the awakward tension that could be felt in the air. He nodded his head and came inside. He sat on the big leather couch infront of the window in my living room. Since his clothes were soaking wet and everytime he moved it made the loudest sweak. He was looking around the house and he wasn't saying anything.
Then I asked him again "What are you doing here?"
He looked at me, the paused for a second then began to say "I just got back to town and I was at Andy's diner, and someone told me that you were still here, so I figured I'd stop by and maybe talk to you about, you know everything that happened to us. Maybe we can pick up where we left off".
I honsetly didn't know how to respond, I just looked down at my hand, at the dimond on my wedding ring. Then I looked up at Luke and said "After we broke up, I thought that my life was over, and it would never be the same again. I cried myself to sleep ever night for almost for months. Then the crying stopped and I just didn't sleep, couldn't really. Then I got a job at Jacobson's printing company, and had to work late, almost all night, so I could keep my mind off you. But the times that I didn't work late, I spent tossing and turing 'till before I knew it, it was morning. It took me a long time to get over my heartache. That's when I met James, it was like all the tears, and sleepless nights went away. I fell in love again. We got married just 8 months after we met."
I looked over at Luke, waiting for his response. But instead, he got up and said to me
"Well, I'm happy for you, really I am."
Then he walked out the door, I could see the dissapointment in his eyes, I didn't know what to say, all I could do was let him walk out of the door, the same way he walked out the same door ten years ago.
