Weeks past and I still didn’t know what happened. 7 years later, and I really have no answers except for the fact that I did nothing wrong. No one on his side of the family would answer the phone. I called, my mother called, and no one would tell us anything. About a month passed and I got a short note saying please forgive me with his wedding band included. No explanation, nothing.
One night he and his brother showed up to get the horse trailer. Still nothing. No explanation. Just gone in the night. He didn’t even have the decency to bring my belongings with him.
7 years later I’m suppose to forgive this guy that calls and wants me to leave my husband for him. We talked for a week. I really wanted to see what Gentry Melton was made of this time. As usual, Gentry made all the same promises again. How he had made love to me every day since he left 7 years ago. How we were going to spend the rest of our life together. He was leaving his wife Rosemary as soon as possible for me. He couldn’t wait till we were together. Luckily I didn’t believe a word of it. I warned him that he was on a high, and this is what I got back…
I tried to pull you up on flicker however the site was under maintenance. I pulled the picture here and my heart stopped and tears came to my eyes. You are looking into my soul, I must admit I had forgotten how beautiful you are. I just sat and looked remembering every line in your face and the taste of your lips. Those eyes, they just do something to me.
I realize I am on a “high” but for me its not temporary, I do realize what I let go of when I left you! You are truly an amazing woman and should be very proud of the things you have done in life. I know your parents are so proud.
I love to hear your voice and I can see the smiles and giggles over the phone. Want you to know how much happiness you have given me in the past 5 days.
I hope this email gives you as much joy reading it as it does when you send me something. I’m like a kid in a candy store. Sleep well tonite I’m gonna miss talking to you tomorrow, but should you get free for a bit, & want to talk, I probably wont go home till later in the evening tomorrow (600 miles home) I just got out of the shower and think I will stay here at the yard for most of the evening. I really want to go to your site, so i think ill nap for a while then check back later.
I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER!
Gentry
