Life after that day in May, was the greatest time of my life!
But, all was short-lived when Casey announced that she would be in Paris for the rest of the two months of summer and seven months for a cultural experience for college.
It was week two of our relationship when it was announced. And my heart sank at the sound of my angel being so far away for nine months.
Later that night, she stayed at my house. Since she was finished with her schooling already from her home-school, she would stay at my house for countless days.
One day, after we got back go to my house from the Carnival and the beach nearby, she collapsed on my bed and slept. I'm not sure how long she slept, but it was awhile.
Maybe two or three days. Then finally, the last day of school for me, Sam, and Emily, she woke up and stared at me. I looked down at her and saw the love and affection that she had for me, in one simple glance.
And when the words, "Stay with me." Came out of her mouth. I was hooked. I stayed with her for her last week in the U.S.
Then, on her last night, we went out.
We had the time of our lives.
And then it happened. Our first time together on her last night.
It was like being in heaven.
And the first things she said go to me afterwards was "Wait for me until I get home."
Before she boarded the plane the next day, we had planned the rest of our lives.
And that was the last time I ever saw my love.
