Love Lost Forever

Allison

So there was this boy who changed my life and I his. His name was Benjamin Nathan Ailmens. He was my love, my life, my everything. We shared our love for 4 years. We were the ideal perfect couple;soul mates. Life was going great, until his dad who was a pilot had to transfer to California for his job. He broke my heart the day he told me he was leaving. But what made it even worse was that he didn't want to leave. He wanted to stay:He wanted to stay for me. But because I loved him I had to let him go:Go over 1000 miles away from me. Before he left he made me promise to never forget him. He made me promise to look for him in years ahead of us. As we said our goodbyes our hearts broke. 9 Months went by no word from him. That summer I went to visit my aunt in California. I was at the airport waiting at my gate to go home when the intercom came on that had told me my plane was delayed for 3 hours. I couldn't believe in there was a bomb threat in my terminal. So I thought I might as well make myself comfy I'm going to be here for a until. So I walked over to the airport Starbucks. As I got to the front of the line I saw this familiar face looking down under this black cap. "What would you like?" (still not looking away from the cups.)"Can I just get a ice tea please.""name?""Allison." His face shot up from the cups."Oh My God! ALLISON!""Hi Ben."I said with a friendly smile and brightened eyes. He then yelled to his manger "I'm going on break." He then got my drink and came and sat down with me. We then began to talk as why I never heard from him. He told me it was because he couldn't stand to just talk to me he had to be with me. We sat and talked for about an hour then he had to go back to work.But before we said our goodbyes again, he told me the 5 most important words I had ever heard."I'm Coming Back to You." I looked at him with happiness in my eyes and confusion on my face. He told me he only had one and eighteen days until he returned to me.I was so happy as I started to walk back to my terminal. Then I heard my name getting yelled as I turned I saw him running down the terminal after me. He reached to where our faces almost touched but didn't.He grasped my face and told me he couldn't wait that long for this and he kissed me. I left California feeling complete like I was about to start living again; like destiny wanted this... or so I thought... I was on cloud 9; so in love. 6 days went by and at midnight of the 7th day I got a text from him saying only one month and 11 days left until i have you in my arms forever. The next day I get a call around 6am. It was Ben's father. All I heard was "I'm so sorry Allison," as I heard the catch in his throat as if he was crying. "Ben was... killed in a head on car accident this early this morning at 1 am coming home from work by a drunk driver." I started breaking down crying in pain as if my heart had just been torn from my chest. My legs felt like someone had ripped them out from under me as I hit the floor. I couldn't move, I couldn't think all I could do was cry, scream and die inside. My heart died the day he was taken from my life forever. At his funeral his dad's last words were... "A father should never have to bury his son, a girlfriend should never have to bury her boyfriend that's not the way its suppose to be." and as I saw him pleading to god I was forever heartbroken. His dad came up to me at the end of the ceremony and he told me Ben told him he was gonna marry me when we were grown and done with college. My body went numb as I started to cry and his dad embraced me. Ben was 17 years old with a bright future ahead of him. He was the love of my life. But he'll always be with me in my heart and I will never forget him. For he is the one that has permanently stolen my heart and who I will love forever more. I love you Ben.
