Come to Me Amelie Within her memory when Amelie was turning 23 she was determined to share her birthday with a man, not just any man, no Amelie was thinking particularly of the man she met last Sunday and silly her, she couldn't forget his smile nor his eyes and how his voice sounded so nice as he helped her to pick up the bag of apples she had dropped when she accidentally on purpose ran into him hoping for an introduction. His name was Pierre and he introduced himself nicely offering to walk her home and carrying that big bag of apples, yikes he was big and strong and handsome and intelligent that was why as a year flew by she found herself loving him. Pierre was her whole life, Amelie lived for him, Pierre in the morning, Pierre at night, that is, until he did something that wasn't very nice. Pierre moved to Spain, he left on a midnight train, headed for Barcelona where he was determined to become a sword fighter or was it a bull fighter. Why? We can speculate but we don't really know. Sometimes love has to go. Probably something to do with a desire for adventure or the foolishness of youth. Nevertheless he left Amelie heartbroken and alone. Later that summer Amelie moved to Rome, she needed a change of location to help her recover and she hoped to discover an Italian lover. In Rome it didn't take her long to find Romone, sleek and strong. He saved her from her pain. He took her to see all the sights. He liked her like crazy, his presence was a delight. Early one morning she was home alone and she was awakened by the telephone. It was Pierre saying he was tired of feeling alone. Amelie knew that feeling because even though she had met Romone, without Pierre in her life she felt alone. "come to me Amelie, Pierre still loves you." JamesLee 2/10/15 |
