A Lover's Lament

A Lover's Lament

In a matter of seconds my entire world changed, and it was in that moment that I stopped living and simply began to exist. In my grief, I sent a letter to the first boy I ever loved. I didnt expect him to write back. Sergeant Devin Ulysses Clay did what I couldnt: he put the shattered pieces of my heart back together. But now that Im whole, I have a decision to make. Do I return to my life as I knew it and the fiancé I left behind, or do I walk away from it all for the only man to everbreak my heart? *** A letter from Katie Devoraa letter that I almost didnt open.Her words put a fire back inside of me that I didnt know Id lost. The Army saved me from a callous mother and a life on the wrong side of the tracks that was quickly spiraling out of control. So unlike most of the men in my platoon, going home wasnt something I longed for. I was content overseas, spending my days defending this country that gave me my life back. Fighting became my new normal until her.
