Literature Text

Year One.
They meet. Completely coincidental. But always one-hundred percent on purpose.
Fate.
She smiles. He fidgets.  
Attraction.

Year Two.
Friends. He is the boy down the street and she is the girl next door. Literally.
He makes her laugh. She makes him vulnerable.

Year Three.
Still friends. The best of friends.
He tells her secrets and she feels safe with him. She thinks he is charming.
He thinks she is beautiful.

Year Four.
He tells her he loves her.
She tells him she loves him too.
He is smitten. She is so happy.
They are the definition of Teenage Love.

Year Five.
Growing pains.
He makes mistakes. And she cries. And cries. And cries.
He is there to kiss away her tears and promises her he will change.
She believes him. But her heart is damaged.

Year Six.
Trusting is hard. He is trying to prove her wrong.
She wants to believe in the good in his heart.
He asks for one more chance and she gives it to him.
Because she loves him.

Year Seven.
He is her Prince Charming.
He has proved to her his love and he would do anything to make her happy.
But her heart still hurts.
He is so sorry.

Year Eight.
Engaged. She said yes.
He wants to make a life with her. He wants to make her his.
He loves her with every fiber of his being and tells her every day.
She loves him too. But she doesn't “know”.

Year Nine.
She breaks his heart. And he cries. And cries. And cries.
But she isn't there to kiss away his tears.
She is alone. He is alone.

Year Ten.
She cries for him. Every day. Every night.
Regret.
She “knows” now. She asks him if it's “too late”.
He tells her he is broken and maybe “someday”.
She is so sorry.
She is so sorry.
She is SO sorry.
I don't know where all this writing is coming from lately, but it just is.

It's almost been a year without him. And there's no doubt in my mind I'm not over him. This poem says it all.
This is our love story,
