Too Late for Love

Written by on January 31, 2013 | 21 Comments

Mattie fell head over heels in love with a man she never met. His smile in a picture and his poetic words typed on a screen were enough for her to know him.

Now, standing over her grave, he weeps.

“I’m sorry I failed to tell you, I love you Mattie. Perhaps we’ll meet in Heaven.”

    Thanks for posting my story Austin. My daughter’s reaction was a pause and a big oooooooh. I need to know what happened! It gave me a good laugh and a great feeling.

    At this time I do not have a website.

    Thanks again,
    Pat

    I liked this one a lot. I think short is always better and less is more which is why I write short short stories.

      Thanks Micki, I’m learning that, “less is more trick” as I xontinue to grow in writing.

      • Pat Yeager

        That’s “continue” not “xontinue”
