Let Me Love You

“Because you can’t undo what’s been done already.  We had something and we tore it down.  The bridge has been burned and we can’t get over the rapids.”  She stern-fully states.

“Well then let’s rebuild, start anew.  I don’t want to walk on that bridge anyways.  We can just build a bigger and better bridge.  We’ll create a masterpiece for other to gawk at; so sturdy that it can withstand anything.”

Frustration grows on her face and starts to move her from her place, “Maybe I don’t want to rebuild, maybe I don’t want to have anything to do with you.  Maybe I would rather find someone else to build with.”

“That’s too many maybes to even work!  We’ve done it before, I don’t see a reason to try again.”
            “Exactly, you don’t see.  We tried it already and it didn’t work.  We’re supposed to learn from the past so we don’t repeat it.”

“Well, with that logic; you should have stopped after me and quit dating completely.  Try one, try them all – right?”  His statement dies and his smirk grows.

She licks her rosy-pink lips in a way that screams frustration.  A sharp breath and a deep exhale restart the conversation-turned-argument.  “There are too many things stopping it from working, don’t you see them?”

“You said it yourself, I can’t see.  Love is blind toots, roll with the punches, ride the waves, be happy.  Does it matter with whom?”

“After what happened, I don’t think I’ll ever feel happy again.”  The lake begins to flood.  She looks up and swallows her emotions, with enough time left to wipe them away too.

“Exactly, let me prove you wrong.  Let me show you that I have changed and so has my love.  Let me love you and make you happy again.  Let me take your pain away and fill you with joy.  Let me show you unconditional love.  Let me show you happiness.  Let me try, again.”
