Will You Marry Me Again

My husband cheated on me right at our wedding.

I stand in a white dress and watch him kiss my best friend.

I rush outside, get into the car, and once we’re on the highway, I crash into a pole.

So, twenty years ago, my previous life ended.

But I remembered it.

I will find the person I loved fiercely in that life— the one who betrayed me, and because of whom I died.

Now he’s thirty-nine, and I, just like then, am nineteen.

We live in the same city again, and our meeting is no longer far off.
