Chapter 26
Gio Bianchi
O ut in the great outdoors is where I find solace, where my soul can finally be.
Out in the great outdoors is where I hope to find you, waiting for me, my sweet love.
But as the days go by, the hope fades and is replaced with sadness and regret.
I crossed twenty-five bridges to find you, I would burn them all to have you.
But the truth is, there is only one bridge between you and me, the bridge that links your heart with mine.
You will live in me forever, Ruin Josephine. You gave me a reason to fight.
As I say goodbye, I say it with a heavy heart and a shattered soul.
I trust that one day, our bridge will bring us back to where our souls entangled and our love began to grow.
My love for you will never fade. The memories will remain forever in my heart.
Because the true ruin is to roam this road without you by my side.
As I write these words, tears fall, splashing onto the pages of the notebook Ruin gave me on graduation day. All the bucket list items she mentioned will remain as proof of the love we shared.
Tomorrow is the beginning of another chapter in my life. One where I go back to who I was before I knew life could be in technicolor.
