A walk to forever reflection

When I've first heard the title of this short story, I already had an idea that it is about love. I really like the story because for me it is so romantic.
In the story, Catherine and Newt were childhood friends and they have a hidden love for each other but neither one of them doesn’t want to admit it. Luckily they still end up together because Newt decides to tell Catherine that he loves her a week before her wedding. The story is nice because it shows how love waits for the right time for two people who are meant to be for each other because I believe that some things are not to be rushed specially something that you want to last forever. I believe that Catherine really love Newt even though she is marrying Mr. Chasens. I think the reason why she accepted to marry Mr. Chasens even though she is really in love with Newt because she thinks that it is impossible between them so she try to forget Newt and just look for another. Maybe Catherine doesn’t want to grow as an old maid so she just accepted Mr. Chasens’ proposal and try to forget Newt. If I were Catherine I would also do the same because a girl just couldn’t wait forever. Good thing that Newt decided to tell Catherine although the timing is really bad but I can’t blame him. At least he said it before it’s too late. I understand that Newt is a shy person (base from the story), at least he did tell Catherine before it’s too late. Maybe he is thinking what if Catherine doesn’t feel the same; he would just get dumped and embarrassed but put in mind that a moment of embarrassment is better than a lifetime of regret.
There are some people in life that no matter how hard you try to forget them you really can’t, maybe because they are really meant to be there. There’s no time to lose and no opportunities to waste, if you love someone take the chance and take the risk. Stop thinking of what could go wrong; instead think of what could go right.
Just like Catherine and Newt’s love story, they still end up together despite the consequences and the trials. If two people are really meant for each other, they will find each other at the right time. A great love story indeed, it shows how love remains in the hearts of people despite the troubles and conflicts in the world.
