Reckless Love

Dear Megan, 

March 6th is still very fresh in my mind. 

It is etched like a tattoo. 

And it's strange to get flashbacks and realize how long ago it was...

Here I am, 7 years later writing about you. 

As you know, I have left my home church because of someone who hurt me. 

I can't go back yet because those memories still ache and taunt me. 

I have been going to your family's church; St Brons. 

I see your Dad often and we always exchange smiles...

Megan; you're either ashamed of me or laughing...

But I have grown a little too fond of the new priest at your church. 

I remember my parents telling me about him; and how I would like him. 

I recently met him last month, and they were right. 

But what startled me was there was an enormous amount of chemistry. 

During a blessing, I made him laugh. I didn't dare to look in his eyes but when I did, I gave him a look of deep love. 

I could sense in my heart that he felt the same. 

And ever since I have been returning, hoping to find him. Hoping to possibly gain at least a friend. 

I want to tell him everything. 

Of you. 

Of my heartbreak. 

Of my struggle. 

Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday. 

It is also March 6th. The day I found out you were going to die from terminal cancer. 

I miss you so much, and I pray for your guidance in my strange situation. 

A grown woman should not fall in love with a Priest. 

Yet stranger things have happened. 

What if it's all a part of God's plan? 

If you're involved I ask you to guide me.

That's pretty raw and heartfelt. I can't even imagine what terrible and obnoxiously dark time you might have passed through, however, i agree with you that it might be God's plan - falling in love again to make life running better because someone has to be there to look after you, and your loved ones. Nicely stuffed, i must say. Looking forward to reading your work.
