Title: I Came, I Loved, And My Heart Was Conquered

One day long ago a very nice and beautiful girl had a guy. This guy was so sweet, understanding, and just wonderful! They were a beautiful couple because she was hisfirst love, and he was her first love. He gave all he had to her, his time, his words, and his love, but she did not want the love that he had worked so hard to give her. She wanted it not to be so serious.
As the days rolled by the boy warned the girl never to let him fade away. He also told the girl to please hold on tightly to him because one day when her grip begins to loosen she will discard him and forget about him forever. "Please don’t let me fade away!" He told her that times and times again. She said, "You will never fade
away." Then one sad morning she told him to stop trying as hard for her. He loved her very, very much, so he did what she asked even though it hurt him deeply. As the time went by the days that they had spent together, and that he cherished so very much turned to hours, then to minutes. He began to fade, and fade so swiftly and surely.
Until one day he could not be seen. His love was made to stop, and also his words with it. It all was done not by him, but now that love he gave and tried hard for ceased to exist. He had disappeared so sadly. His love for her, and determination could not be seen.; it had disappeared into the open air. A cool mist had carried it
away. A mist of unthoughtfulness because the boy had tried but other things made him be pushed away.
Then one day the girl came to the boy and cried, "I miss what I had! I miss all those sweet words and soft touches you gave me. I miss being with you, and how wonderful you were. I miss those late night chats about where we were going to live and what we’d we would do when we became adults. I miss you. I miss you so much!!!"
The boy who was fading fast not only in mind, but also in body turned to the girl and said, "I tried to give all my love. I gave it all to you. When I was hurt you were not there. I had nobody, but because you were happy I said nothing. I kept quiet and did what I did because I loved you. A man is only born with so much love. If used right it can be used 4-Ever, but sometimes when a man spends it so sparingly and showers it upon a girl and is rejected and told to love and do less it ruins him. He cannot be gained back, and cannot love again.
Then as a tear rolled down the boys cheek he said so sweetly, "I came, I loved, and my heart was conquered. I shall never love again. You were my first, and my last. You were my eternal flame; what made me tick, and what made me go on. In my heart it will always sing because my heart is one big unchained melody! I gave my all, and it was not good enough. Now I must lie here and learn how to live again
because my love for you was so strong. I saw and had no world for myself. You were my world. This world I had had no trees and no mountains. In it was the beautiful you and only you! Now I must learn to live and see things as I once did because from you I have learned not to love because there is no time for it and it cannot
be seen.
The girl then sobbed as she said. "I have loved you 4-Ever! I want what I had. I can’t believe I let it slip right through my fingertips. I loved you so much and still do."
As these words rolled off her lips the boy said his last words. They were sad and swift. They use to be the words they shared so often months before. They shared them so sweetly together. He grasped her hand tightly and said, "I love you now and forever. When I am gone I will still love you. You were blind and could not see it,
but I loved you! I will love you forever whether or.... Then he took his last breath. He faded so fast through the night. He past from his sad and love shattering life of sorrow all because of a broken heart! It could have been so easily prevented.
As the days past by the girl cried and cried. She thought she could cry no more, but she did. All she could say was, "Why did I not see it? Why?" He died in my arms just as he said he had only wanted too. But he died thinking I did not love him! Why did I not see it? Oh, why God was I so blind? Please God give him back to me for at least one more second, so I can tell him how much I love him and that I want that love and all those marvelous things he had for me.
Time went on and she attended the funeral two days later. As the preacher spoke she cried and cried. She came forward to the casket and peered inside. Then she took his moist, balmy hand and look deep into those sweet closed eyes and said lovingly, "I loved you and still love you so much! Please come back."
She then stood up and faced the crowd of mourning people to say a few last remarks. These words she said were so strong and so very powerful. There was no way that boy in the casket she loved could not here those words spoken. In that casket his ears must have been opened. He always loved to hear her sweet voice.
She said, "This boy I once knew was a wonderful boy! Probably the most sweet and caring boy I have ever met in my life, and ever will meet. He did things for me so willingly that I will never forget. He cared so much for me even when I walked away from him. He introduced me to the true meaning of love. He showed me how to love and, how much that word really meant! I remember one sweet thing he did for me. It was when I put off doing a few science reports for school. He knew, to get it done, and to do it right it would take days to get it finished. He looked at me and said I’ll do it in his sweet little way. He got up and did it just for me. He knew I
would have to stay up late all night just to get it done, and he did not want that to happen. He would rather me sleep soundly at home while he labored hard for me. He sacrificed himself and pain through life for me because he loved me and wanted me to be happy. Even after all of this I told him that the bad outweighed the good. It broke
his heart, but he kept going.
I remember the sweet things he would say to me all the time. Those words keep ringing in my ear so loudly. He was so good at what he did and his future was so bright! He was so charming. He was truly my Prince Charming.
He once told me something that I truly believe. He said he would give up a great paying job, his sports, and everything that was there for me. Just for me he would do that when we grew older. He would give it all to me. I would be completely his, and most definitely he would be completely mine! I didn’t know it then, but I know it now.
He was truly in love with me. So deep, so sweet, and oh so how lovely!
The last thing I have to say is so sad so please bare with me.
He once said something so deep, and strong, so full of love and commitment that I couldn’t believe it. He walked up to me one day and whispered softly in my ear, "Jenn, I Love You!" I said I know, but he went on, "Jenn, I would take it for you," take what I said? "The bullet. Jenn I love you so much. I would take a bullet for you. I would take all pain for you. I would sacrifice it all for you. Jenn, I love you!" that was so strong and that will last forever in my mind. I know he would do it. He would do it just for me, just as he said, because he loved me!"
She then walked to the casket again and wept because she right then and there would make the last ‘I Love You!’ between the two of them ever. The sad thing was he had always wanted to be the last to say it. He had always said let me be the one to say it when it needs to be said. But he was not here. He was waiting for her. She knew he would wait forever now on the other side. To her, she knew he
probably right now was writing a poem just for her. He always was working on something to show his love.
On his tombstone his name was on it, the date April 4, 1999, and the words boldly inscribed said, "I came, I loved, and my heart was conquered! I will wait forever for you! I am here on the other side watching and caring over you. I will always love you!
Years went by. Time went on as it always did. The name of the boy that had past so tragically faded away. He was not thought of much anymore, but his being and presence to the girl had not been lost.
On the day October 17 she went walking through his field where he had once lived, just to think of him on the day that they had begun the most beautiful love story ever. She went walking there because that is where he had always promised to take her walking. He had always wanted to, but never told her why. He just told her he wanted to do something special that would last in their minds forever. As she was walking she looked around seeing so much beauty and wonder. Then something caught her eye. It was far away in amongst a group of trees. It was on a the tree. All she could make out was a heart. She raced forward to look at it. When she got their she was astonished. Her heart leaped. It had writing in the heart. It had been carved into the tree. Words were also inside and this is what it said.
"Justin and Jenn Forever and Always! In Life and in Death I Will
Always Love You!"
The words were then dated at the bottom. The date was so bright and eye catching. The date was April 5,1999. That was the day after he had died. But how could that be?
She to this day believes he was their with her that very moment, and that he wrote that after he died. He once said God gave him love for her forever. God must have let it happen. She knows he did. She knows deep in her heart he is with her, by her side, loving her every day. He will be there forever. He truly was Forever Love!
