Hank and Emma were high school friends-- too shy, too afraid of rejection, they never crossed the line into anything more. And so they stayed "just friends" for forty years. But Hank never forgot the way he felt the first time he looked into Emma's eyes and saw her smile.

When he appears on her doorstep decades later?older, hopeful, and carrying a quiet longing?Emma is stunned. Hank is finally asking for the chance they were both too timid to take all those years ago.

What begins as a tentative reconnection blooms into something achingly sweet: long drives down country lanes, stories spilled under open skies, and gentle dreams of a future they thought they'd missed. Together, they rediscover a love that had waited patiently, just beneath the surface.

But when illness strikes without warning, Hank and Emma must confront a fragile, uncertain tomorrow?leaning on faith, courage, and a lifetime of unspoken affection finally brought to light.

A Postponed Romance is a tender tale of second chances, soul-deep devotion, and the enduring power of love that never truly fades.

But all love stories, even when they start out like a fairy tale, do not necessarily end as one.

A favorite spot up on the hill
A closeness not known before to feel.
I miss the feel of your hand in mine
The taste on your lips of our favorite wine.

My love for you is deep and wide
My broken heart where love abides.
Now filled with sadness, tears, and grief
Our time together too short, too brief.

You showed me unconditional love
And look on me from up above.
I know in heaven you now wait
And will meet me by that pearly gate.
