It was a small, but elegant expression of love, he brought me a small box of Godiva cordial cherries... Cordial cherries had always been one of my favorite candies. I was preparing our dinner, and as he came in from work, he kissed me and said he loved me as he presented his gift from behind his back. That was our first summer together and I was happier than I'd ever been in my entire life and I was truly in love.
It was on another day years later, a sunny winter's day... He had another box of cordial cherries in hand, it was I guess an apology. But it was too little, too late and was so bittersweet and meaningless that it only broke my heart further. I set the box of candies down on the kitchen counter never to touch them again. Somehow, I knew it would be mere days to the end of my world and my hopes. And yet, I was still helplessly in love... I loved him even more than on that first summer day... and he was still my reason.
