‘You never lost my love, Cormac, and no matter how many times I try to tell myself otherwise, you never will lose it. I remember your room. I remember how I felt that day. I was just a girl, but I knew my heart. I knew then what I was feeling was special. I was certain then I would never love anyone the way I loved you that day before you left. I was so sure it would last a lifetime. In spite of myself, I can’t help myself but I still feel the same way. It just won’t go away.’

He took her hand in his.

‘When do you have to go home again, Cormac?’

He didn’t answer. She asked again.

‘When do you have to go home again?’

He lifted her head and pulled her to him.

‘I’m already home, Bernadette. I’m already home.’

He held on and knew he would never let go again.

They swayed together under the flashing neon sign. They were just another Irish boy and Irish girl holding on to each other somewhere in New York City.

It’s an age old story….
