It was but ten minutes. But those ten minutes were the worst ten minutes of my life. In those ten minutes, it seemed like it was a life-time.
Barely past the ten months and then, the night of homecoming, he breaks up with me. He's got every reason to do so. The gods know he's right about me. But I swear on anyone, anything...that I do try to better myself as to not hurt him. I do try to change my paranoid behavior. I try. But I guess sometimes trying is just not good enough.
Sometimes...when I'm overwhelmed by his love, I secretly think I'm not good enough for him. Usually I'd think this every second of my life with him but he doesn't let me hehe.
I keep wondering, however, how it is that he can love me. I hurt him so badly. I never knew how much I really do hurt him...but now I know. Now I know. And it hurts me two fold for the reason that I hurt him so badly.
Yet, ten minutes after he breaks up with me, we're back together again. He says that he can't live without me and I feel the same way. But then I run over the words that he said in the last ten minutes... "I can't take this shit anymore"..."I'm fucking tiered of this"..."Do you want to go home? I thought I'd spend the rest of the night making you happy one last time"..."After tonight, it's over"...and worst of all... "I think we'd both be happier if we broke up. I wouldn't have to deal with this shit anymore and you could go back to being with your 'friends'".
All his arguments seem so reasonable except for three things: I love him and I will not let him go unless he tells me straight out that he wants to leave me...and...he said he loved me. I'd break my own heart in order for him to be happy.
I love him...and those ten minutes seemed like a life-time in a nightmare...telling him, but mostly myself that this was not happening...that we shouldn't break up. It felt like I was just litterally and emotionally falling apart...breaking into tiny pieces and then burning coldly in the face of oblivion. But he caught me, and held me together when I was about to fall apart. And right now, I'm the happiest girl in the world...thankful for his love and cherishing it like nothing else I've loved before.
You know...they say you never realize what you've lost until it's gone. But those ten minutes made me look again at what I had already realized: The man that I love is even greater than the man he was yesterday. I love him. He is my hero, my role-model, my heart, and my soul mate.
Heh...no witty quote to type last today. Only love spread in the form of language.
Always,
Sofi
