Curiosity and anxiety filled her mind, when she discovered
her college autograph, 30 years later, beneath the pile of other read and
un-read books.
The college had seen his and her sincere love, but the moment they realized that their relationship could not last long, they recovered practically,
found their own lives and eventually had forgotten each other.
Hands trembling and wanting to read it again, she rushed to the page, which she had much loved; much read and had much cried over, long
ago.
To her shock, the pages that her first love had filled were carefully
torn.
Much more than dismay, she felt a pang of pity for her
husband who had been carrying it in his heart for these many years.
Beautifully written!
