The Secret to a Happy Ending....

It's been a long day at work and I've finally made it home.  While a little bit of Italian sausage simmers in some tomatoes and a glass of wine help calm me down from the day, my thoughts are lost in what lies before me tomorrow....

Saying goodbye to someone is never an easy task.  It is made harder when the bond forged between you is stronger than that with all the others that came before. 

It's been said in song that "the secret to a happy ending is knowing when to roll the credits".  That time has come.  I knew that it couldn't last forever.  I've been in this game long enough to know that you'd better enjoy every relationship by soaking in every minute, and maximizing the good days, before they're gone.  And that day always come.

Sweetheart, I put every ounce of effort I had into you, and I can truly say that you were perfect.  Every day, going all the way back to the minute I lay eyes on you.  You were what I'd dreamed of and I had you, all to myself. 

Bright sunshine always turns to beautiful sunsets.  And then the sunset turns to darkness.  How wonderful is the work of God to give us this beauty to escort out the closing of the day.  I too look at our relationship through this lens as our love seemed to grow with each and every day, until the bright blue sky turned its purple hue, and then.... darkness.

Please know, that my love for you never wavered.  I recollect all those moments we spent together.  Solitude and love.  Your curves had become so familiar to me that I could feel you without even touching you.  You dressed like no other and carried a style all your own. 

I always knew you'd catch the eye of another.  My hats off to this man, for he truly has won a prize of prizes.  My only hope is that your future with him carries the same affection and magic that we shared.  I wish you all the best as you disappear down the road with him.... tomorrow. 

You will always be my sweet, Big Red Sled.  And I'll miss you baby.



Now, what to build next...

Ride safe, and with purpose.

  1. Isn't it amazing how we become so attached (emotionally) to those machines?
