Title: Back To Yesterday
Author: Pamela Sparkman
Everyone loves a good
love story. The stories that make you feel warm all over. The kind that leaves
you the slightest bit envious because the story belongs to someone else and not
you. The stories that make your heart race and on the edge of pain and
pleasure. Pain because your heart hurts and pleasure because your heart hurts.
An unlikely combination, yet, that’s the stuff good love stories are made
of.
Ours could have been like that. We could have made a beautiful love story.
But when he was ready for that epic love story, I was too young to appreciate it, too young to understand that we don’t always get a second chance at it. Then, when I was ready for the epic love story, he was gone.
And I was alone.
And the only thing I got was the pain.
It's time I told him the things that were in my heart but too afraid to say out loud.
I licked the envelope, placed the letter I wrote to him in the mailbox, and prayed it wasn't too late.
Dear Charlie,
You were right. I was wrong. I've never been more wrong in my life.
There - I said it.
I’ll say it a million times if you just come back to me.
Come back to me. Please!
I was so wrong. I do love you.

I grew up in Alabama
and have always been an avid reader. I had a stack of those Little Golden Books
and I can remember reading Three Little Kittens over and over and over again.
It was my favorite.
Fast forward and the
older I got the more in love with books I became. So, I'm admitting that I am a
huge nerd. The only reading I don't like are those math word problems. And I'm
okay with that because no one has ever asked me in real life... "If I give
you two bananas and take away six apples, how long will it take the southbound
train to collide with the northbound train if Johnny left his house at
midnight?" It just doesn't happen.
So, yeah, books are
my thing.
Oh and music. All
kinds. Love.It.
