Somewhere in time

I couldn't let this pass. God is an awesome God ! I saw a movie yesterday ; the woman said,I'm sure you had many women in your life...He said; a few but all had the same problem...they weren't you!! .My ex- husband and I have stayed in touch all seventeen years we've been apart. Of course the first fifteen we spend fighting and blaming each other for our separation and divorce.I washed my hands off him  many times to count yet we kept coming back to more arguing.I for one decided to forgive and forget, no ,,it wasn't easy but finally this last year I did.Our conversations changed from anger ,insults to peace and tranquility.Amazing how forgiveness can change things.Not all changed with him, there were moments I could sense sadness in him even anger.I couldn't understand why after sixteen years he couldn't let it go,,I had. Our last conversation was two days ago, and as always he brought up "us" again. I couldn't stop myself from asking the question that had been on my mind too long. I told him that for years I had been hating him ,blaming him for all the wrong he'd done to me,,until I could hate no more. I also told him my experience in the forgiving department  and how God being a merciful God helped me overcome my problem.He listened then said; I have forgiven you,but you see,, I remember how loving you were in our marriage. You'd give yourself completely without reservation, that is the person that you are.All these years all I could think was how many times other people got to see the real you as I had. As he explained I finally understood ,,our love had stayed "somewhere in time" The battle of our separation had extended sixteen years with many painful questions in it's path, but now nothing mattered except one thing,,God was in control. "Tomorrow" I leave in HIS hands, today I smile because I am content and at peace. What will be the ending of  this I asked myself??  It will be,,,And they lived happily ever after!
