A Lover's Lament

A Lover's Lament

In a matter of seconds my entire world changed, and it was in that moment that I stopped living and simply began to exist.

In my grief, I sent a letter to the first boy I ever loved. I hoped in writing it Iâ€™d find some peace from the nightmare I was living, some solace in my anger.

I didnâ€™t expect him to write back. I wasnâ€™t prepared for his words, and I certainly wasnâ€™t ready for the impact this soldier would have on my life. A deep-rooted hate transformed into friendship, and then molded into a love like Iâ€™d never known before.

Sergeant Devin Ulysses Clay did what I couldnâ€™t: he put the shattered pieces of my heart back together, restoring my faith in humanity and teaching me how to live again.

But now that Iâ€™m whole, I have a decision to make. Do I return to my life as I knew it and the fiancÃ© I left behind, or do I walk away from it all for the only man to ever break my heart?

***

Iâ€™ve been living in hell, but you wonâ€™t hear me complain.

These men depend on me, as I do them, and this brotherhood is the only family Iâ€™ve ever known.

The Army saved me from a callous mother and a life on the wrong side of the tracks that was quickly spiraling out of control. So unlike most of the men in my platoon, going home wasnâ€™t something I longed for.

I was content overseas, spending my days defending this country that gave me my life back. Fighting became my new normal â€¦ until her.

A letter from Katie Devoraâ€”a letter that I almost didnâ€™t open. Her words put a fire back inside of me that I didnâ€™t know Iâ€™d lost. She gave me hope during a time when I was fighting every day just to stay alive, and now itâ€™s time I fight for her.
