An Old Love Letter
Years had passed since James and Maria had seen each other last
But Maria still felt the same pangs of love when she saw James's handwriting in a crumpled old love letter in the back of her desk drawer.
They met in high school and fell in love immediately, dreaming of a life together and planning their future in hushed conversations in the hallways.
They thought nothing could keep them apart, but soon their lives diverged, as life often does.
James had gone off to college, eager to make his mark on the world, and Maria had followed in his footsteps, starting her career and traveling across the country.
Life had taken them both away, but at that moment, when Maria's hand closed around the yellowed piece of paper, the memories of all their years together flooded back.
The love letter was full of poetry, silly nicknames, and promises of eternal devotion and adoration, making Maria's heart flutter joyfully.
Tears welled in her eyes as she read, her chest heavy with the nostalgia of lost love and the ache of wanting the past to return.
And although life had moved on and taken James and Maria far from the love they had once shared, it was clear that the love and joy they'd shared all those years ago still existed in the hearts of both of them.
The old love letter was a testament to that, and in her heart, Maria felt the comforting thought that maybe they'd be together again someday.
