What happy memory will you cherish forever?

My girlfriend from years ago, i was bound to meet her at her hometown for the first time. Going by train it took me more then an hour, my heart was beating out of my chest at times. When i arrived at the station she was in front of the exact door i was standing behind. Her eyes lit up, a big smile formed on her face and we both rushed in each others arms. That day we went for a day in the city, walking together and enjoying the small things. We had a picknick lunch at a pond, the sun was shining and everything was perfect. After that we went to her house and we cuddled for hours in bed. Just being so happy we where together. And until this day, the love and happiness i felt that day was the best of my life.

But

Due to long distance and her and mine personal problems we could not make it work. When she really needed me, i sometimes could not be there for here. As she would hang up if she would feel bad and it took so long to get to her. Eventually she went back to live with her parents and got some serious help. I also was not in a position to help her as i was having my own problems to deal with and we could not offer each other what we needed. We broke up, promising to meet each other later in life.

Four years later, i had my shit sorted and was able to really be there for her. Turns out she was not able to deal with life anymore and she killed herself 3 months before i wanted to contact her again. I will always love you Liselotte, you made me the happiest i ever was.

I still cherish the memory of that day. And i would give anything to change the past. I wish i was more mature back then and realize how precious she was. I will always love you Liselotte, you made me the happiest i ever was and i will cherish you forever!
