I’ve heard it said that you only find that one great love once in your lifetime. A vibrant and full love that makes you question how you went so long without that person in your life. A love that feels safe, a love that feels right, a love that’s exhilarating, and a love that changes you in a way that you thought was never possible – a love that makes you a better person.
The thought of losing that love at all is unimaginable, unthinkable, and yet the reality is that sometimes love does not work out in your favor – even if you believe that person could be the one. I thought I had finally found that kind of love.
After sharing a year of laughs, singing at the top of our lungs on our little road trips, calling each other on the phone just to hear the other’s voice, and the many other amazing memories we shared that I will never forget, we parted ways for what you thought was for the best. And maybe you were right, but I still can’t help but wish it could have been different.
I may miss the person I fell in love with, the person I called my best friend, but like most things in life, I have to accept the fact that there is nothing I can do to change the past. So I’ve distanced myself; I’ve kept myself busy with school and work, and though I wouldn’t say I’ve been great, I am okay and I will get through it.
Life still goes on – even if life’s once vibrant colors have dimmed and the days taste more bitter than sweet, things will get better with each day. You will always hold a special place in my heart, and who knows what the future holds, maybe someday things will change but for now, I will take care of myself and only hope for the best.
