What Happened?!?
It was finally over. The many months of emotional turmoil were no longer. She laid down on the bed and closed her eyes. Flashbacks of the great times they had that summer raced through her head. She had cried so many times from their recent arguments that she did not possess anymore tears. She knew he was waiting to let go of the hands he used to hold. Despite him saying he no longer loved her, all she could do was breathe a final sigh of relief.
Of course she loved him. She always had, and learning that love does not just disappear, always would. Going into the relationship, her main purpose was to have fun and let him go when the summer ended. But that last look they gave each other on that last night was a silent promise to stay together. He was the only guy who had never made her cry. That in itself was a good reason not to give him up.
They both knew it was going to be hard. Despite the distance, the occasional visits were enough to give everything they had to each other...everything. At least that is what she thought. He was all that she wanted, yet everyone told her that he was the lucky one to have "such a perfect girl." She never imagined it to end so bitterly...
She knew deep down that they weren't going to be together again. The pain that came along with that thought was unbearable but she knew she had no choice but to move on. They agreed to not have any contact and believed that if they were meant to be, they would find their way back to each other. Sadly, they both knew that they were not meant to be.
She sat up from the bed and looked at herself in the mirror. She was a different person now and her whole life was changed. Picking up her book to write, she knew that the only way she could ever let go was to leave her memories to her journal and keep him tucked away in the back of her heart. As that final chapter of her life ended, she closed her book and opened herself to who was next to come.
