It was autumn and the brown leaves were falling to the ground as the cold winds blew. I stood alone, waiting. He was only a few minutes late, or I was early. Too excited, too anxious to see how he'd changed since leaving to go away on another tour. Too many tours keeping us apart. But he loved it, and I loved him.

Waiting and still waiting, but then I saw him. Same old beautiful smile waiting to greet me. I love that smile. It hits me like a breeze of fresh ocean wind against my face. His hair, still as golden as sunlight shining down from heaven. And his hands, as they reach out for mine. Only this time one of his fists is shut tightly.

"Close your eyes and open your hand." I did it. No words to be spoken, just the sound of his sweet voice. I open my eyes to find the most beautiful friendship ring on my finger. Then he slowly whisper in my ear. "No matter what, you are always in my heart. We're soulmates nothing can keep us apart."
