Romancing in the Past

1/1

I don’t know what brought me to do it—maybe it was the feeling of loneliness that was beginning to sweep over me, taking over my core, or possibly just because I missed gazing into those big, beautiful blue eyes of his. Either way, here I was snooping on his pictures and I was sure as hell going to pay for it soon enough.

There was a picture of him on the ship, probably on a drill in the middle of the Gulf. He was wearing his dark blue Navy uniform, with a buckled bullet protection vest over his chest. On his head he wore a helmet. I don’t know what it was that he was using, but he was grinning up at the camera and I felt the sob rise in my throat, beginning from my toes. I gasped as it fell from my lips and suddenly I was bent over my laptop, bawling my eyes out as I was bombarded by the memories of us.

They were so strong that I could almost imagine his hands on my skin, running along every crevice and curve. I could just smell him as he bent down and kissed me into oblivion.

I hit the arrow for the next picture, but it robbed me of my breath—it was them, his family that he has now—his wife, him, and their beautiful breathtaking daughter.
