A Love Story - John W. Errington (beach read book .txt) 📗

One upon a time, long, long ago in a land far far away there was a young boy, a troubled young boy. The boy came to know a beautiful young girl and in the passing of time came to love her, but had not the courage to tell her.

As time passed by, as time is prone to do, their time together came to end and the troubled young boy was whisked away to another place and time. The troubled young boy soon came to realize that he would never see the beautiful young girl again and so He buried his love for her deep within, ever yearning, ever longing and never forgetting the beautiful young girl.

As time passed, as time is prone to do, the troubled young boy became a young man, a troubled young man. The young man met a young lady and in the passing of time the young man and the young lady fell in love and got married. After all It is what was expected of them.

They lived, they loved, they laughed, they cried. But the troubled young man never forgot the beautiful young girl. Often He wondered if she was happy or sad, if she was loving and being loved. Still yearning, still longing and, yes, still loving the beautiful young girl. But once again the troubled young man buried those feelings, knowing he would never see her again.

Time passed, as time is prone to do, and the young man and the young lady came to know hopeless, pain and despair. Soon the troubleg young man and young lady parted company, their paths never to cross again.

For a time the troubled young man wandered, staying here and there and never finding happiness thus beginning his sojourn in the valley of the shadow of death.

In time the deeply troubled man found a ray of hope a ray of sunshine in his dark and troubled world and unable to resist the ray of sunshine the deeply troubled man, as a moth to the flame, headed toward the sunshine.

As time passed, as time is prone to do, the troubled man came to bask in the sunshine. The man was still troubled but the sunshine was persistent and crept, slowly and surely, into the deep dark crevices of the troubled man world.


However, even in the depths of His darkness he never forgot the beautiful young girl. His longing, Hid yearning and Yes even his love stronger than ever. He thought of her, hoping she had found happiness and peace, wishing her Hope and Joy in all that she did. But soon despair overcame him once again and he buried those feelings, knowing he would never, ever see her again. (you see he had tried, to no avail and having not the wherewithal to continue, gave up).

Time passed, as time is prone to do, and the man became older, wiser ever basking in the Sunshine and when the time was right He came to the end of his sojourn through the valley of the shadow of death. For you see what was casting the shadow was the Light of the Universe shining filling and emanating from his Sunshine.

He could see clearly now, realizing that because of the Sunshine He himself could love again, The man, troubles abated, allowed this great Love to fill him to overflowing at long last the darkness was gone, despair replaced with Hope, pain replaced with Peace, at last He was free!!

Time passed on, as time is prone to do, and without warning or fanfare He suddenly found the beautiful young girl again!! Great was his joy!! Great was his gladness!! That which had been lost had been found again!! Love had once again shone upon him and not being a troubled young boy anymore, but an older wiser man with the courage of His convictions professed his deep undying love for her and to his great relief, she confessed her love for him.
