A Diamonds Secret

This happened with a girl I dated a while ago. We knew each other for a long time, 20 years or so. But growing up together, we never let our emotions show. So I told her how I felt and she said yeah I know. We started dating and we had a love that was beginning to grow. A short while later her ex showed up, his name was Joe. He bought her a nice diamond ring wrapped up in a bow. I said I don't mind if you keep it, but he's got to go. She kept it and wore it, but it started to eat away at me slow. A couple weeks later, the temperature got to freezing and below. While sledding I asked her for a glove, and inside was a shimmering glow. To this day she still doesn't know, but I buried that ring deep in the snow. ***For Shani Fassbender's contest, "Tell Me A Secret."***
