Still remind me
That painful holiday can almost hear you say
Please don't miss me
Too long
What did I do wrong
Could've sung a different song
You were my tune
Make my heart believe a want is not a need
And I'm all right without you
The days go by
The nights don't change
The stars still spell out your name
I will wait for you
The world has let me down
Is it you're just not around
I've lost my reason
All the memories
Every smile you gave to me
You can keep them
The days go by
The nights don't change
The stars still spell out your name
I will wait for you
I will wait for you
I will wait for you
I will wait for you
I will wait for days go by
And still I will wait for you
Dear Ephram,
It's been three weeks since my letter, and I'm worried
because I haven't gotten a response. Please, I need a response. I don't think I
can go through another day, let alone another year, without one.
I hope I didn't scare you away. I'm sorry. I should have never asked you to come home. I'm sorry if this angered you. I just couldn't help myself, Ephram. I need you here. I love you. I really, really do.
Oh great, my tears are streaking the lines. I'm sorry if this isn't readable. It's just that thinking of you and how much I love you and how much I miss you just makes me cry. Ephram, you wouldn't want me to cry, but I can't help it. I…

"Amy?"
Amy quickly brushed her tears away, put down her pen, and turned around to her father. "Yes?"
Harold Abbott looked at his daughter and his heart went out to her. He hated seeing her like this and hoped she wouldn't be this way for much longer. "There's someone here to see you."
Amy gave him a questioning look. Who the hell is coming to visit me?, she thought. "Okay, I'll be right down."
Her father gave her a nod and she quickly walked over to her mirror to check her reflection. She stared at her red eyes and knew there was no way to hide the fact she'd been crying. Allergies, she thought, I'll blame it on allergies. She quickly ran a brush through her hair before heading downstairs.
She reached the bottom of the stairs to see Bright standing there, talking to someone.
"It's good to see you, seriously, I know you don't think I mean it…" she could hear him saying.
"Hello?" she said aloud.
Bright turned around, still blocking her view of whoever this stranger was. "Hey Amy, sorry, I'll let you two be alone."
Amy gave him a confused look until he stepped out of her vision path and walked away. And there he was, standing there, looking like the same boy who had left her a year ago. She felt the tears come to her eyes and she pinched herself. "Oh my gosh…"
"I've just traveled 2000 miles and all you can say is 'Oh my gosh?'"
Amy ran from her place at the bottom of the stairs and threw her arms around him. "Ephram Brown, you haven't changed."
He wrapped his arms around her waist and whispered in her ear, "Neither have you. You're still beautiful."
"When did you get here? How did you? Why didn't you tell me?" Amy brought her arms down, and looked into his eyes.
He gave her a smirk, the same smirk she dreamt about for a year. "Uh.. surprise?"
Amy couldn't keep her eyes off his lips, until she just placed hers on top of his. She kissed him and he kissed her back. She broke the kiss a few moments later, looked deep into his eyes and asked, "Are you here to stay?"
Ephram pulled her closer to him, kissed her forehead, and simply replied, "Yes, I am. It's true what they say, home is where the heart is and I'm home, Amy, I'm home."
