Joy Argento - Carrie and Hope (24 page)

I’m going to give up

And surrender to the lessons yet to learn

Because since our first kiss I constantly yearn

And I’m willing to open this door for you

Just walk slowly through

Isn’t it time for me to trust again

Let the past go, learn to love again

Maybe this time, I’ll be in safe hands

Carrie brushed away a tear as she finished reading the poem, and gave Hope a soft kiss on the cheek. “I love it,” she whispered, “I love you.”

Hope smiled at her. “The feeling is very much mutual.” She took Carrie’s hand and leaned back in her seat. This was going to be the best vacation of her life.
