WINNER
More than a Lifetime
I have lived many lifetimes; I am aware that each
lifetime I’ve missed the mark of my reason for being here. I have been
difficult, cranky and generally hard to be around.Why was I like that you ask?
Each life I would meet her fall in love and then lose her…the woman who made me
a better man; to disease or disaster, or to another man. No matter what I
seemed to do it was inevitable. I decided this lifetime I would enjoy all my
time with her and not be a sour man afterwards. Maybe then instead of living life over and
over again we could be together in the afterlife.
Tonight I found her again she was in the process of
committing suicide.
“You’re better off here with me,” I told her.
“But you don’t even know me,” she cried.
“Maybe, but I will if you give me a chance,” I
insisted.
She gave me the chance. We’ve been together for
twenty years now the longest of any lifetime. She’s started to remember us now
so I know our time is short. I went to the doctor’s this morning and it’s me
that will be pulled away this time; but I hope and pray that all the good we’ve
done in the last twenty years together will be rewarded. I wish for another
lifetime together again. For it’s not a curse as I thought but a gift and I
know I will always love her and she me.
