The Story

I'm 21 and been with my high school sweetheart since I was 15. I grew up with this guy. Three years ago he was sentenced to 3 years in prison. There he had tentative plans to get a transfer after his release and move to Boston with his family,(I live in Southern California)However this transfer never went through and he was to be back in my arms Nov 23, 2010. For three years I remained devoted, and always looking forward to that next letter from the state prison. Standing by my man was the only choice that made me happy. I was the happiest these past months knowing that soon I would see and hold him again. We made plans to go shopping on black friday to get him some new clothes, we would then have lunch at the park and catch up. Just like a storybook. The 23rd came and went and still no word then the 24th rolled on by like nothing, I kept watching and waiting for my phone to light up with a foreign number knowing he would be on the other end. Never happened. On the 24th I received a letter from the prison, a thin piece of paper with no more than 5 sentences on it, from him. "By the time you read this I will be on a plane to Massachusetts" it read... "My transfer went through and I will not return to San Diego, thank you for everything. Goodbye."
