“Last night, quietly, she walked through my dreams
As I lay searching for sleep.
She brushed a tear from my cheek,
And then those funny, familiar, forgotten feelings
Came back…” crooned Englebert and Philip hummed along.
“I thought it was over between Lisa and you.” said Imran, his best friend.
“So I thought. But the past has a way of coming back to haunt you. We broke up years ago and I thought that I had moved on. But I know now that Lisa was the love of my life. I’ve dated so many women since then but no-one came close to matching up to her.” confessed Philip.
“So where is she now?” asked Imran.
“I don’t know. Now she is only a part of my dreams. I keep myself busy so I won’t think about her. The worst of it is that it was my fault. If I had been faithful to her, I am sure we would still be together. Wherever in the world she may be, I hope she understands that I am sorry and regret my treatment of her.” said Philip.
“So let there by closure and you can lead a normal life with no ghosts to haunt you. After all, you still have memories of your affair to keep you from feeling low. You are lucky to have found a lifelong love even if it didn’t work out. In my case, I never met a woman whom I thought really special.” said Imran.
“Don’t give up. I know a couple who married in their eighties and they are happy. A good friend of mine married at forty and she is happier than many couples who married in their twenties.” said Philip.
Let’s leave the past behind and enjoy the present.
