I remember receiving the wedding announcement from one of the friends who had helped me move, and his invitation… I was very happy for him and very excited to return to Lyon for a few days…
*
I remember how the other friend who had helped me move welcomed me into his home during that visit…
*
I remember that, although you were no longer in Lyon, you were still with me in spirit…
*
I remember dropping by my old company to greet my former colleagues and quietly seeking updates about you from those you had worked alongside…
*
I remember my friend's wedding; seeing him so happy was a balm of joy for me…
*
I remember how my friend, who had himself found love at a wedding, tried to play matchmaker by seating me beside a lovely single woman; but what I felt and experienced with you was so powerful that even the most beautiful girl in the world could not have drawn my eyes or thoughts away from you…
*
I remember the U2 songs, my friend's favorite band, that were played to celebrate his wedding, especially 'With Or Without You'…
*
I remember that this joy gave me a lot of hope; I, who had never given much thought to marriage, began to question my way of thinking…
*
I remember the celebration continuing into the early hours; I couldn't help but wish you had been there beside me…
*
I remember the journey home, the joy and sadness I carried back with me…
