Author's Note: The song "God Gave Me You" has become one of my favorite songs and it really holds the base for this story. The heroine in the story is very connected to the hero and the song is a portrayal of that. Also, this story is a true story. Some events may not be accurate though, my memory isn't 100% accurate and names have been changed. Also, the hero in the story has not died and the woman is not an old woman in real life. In fact they are both teenagers in real life but the story is better this way.
Here's the story:
“Love is never blind. It can always see through the weak mind .”
-Ventura Gonzalez
One day, I had thoughts in the back of my mind. Everyone around me was breaking up and you and I were the only couple left. I found this paper folded in a box with some letters I wrote to you before we started dating; they were letters that I never gave you. This one stuck out to me the most and it read:
If you walked away from me tonight, I’d understand. People change their minds; I can’t keep you if you want to go. I can only pray that you come back and I know that if you come back you will always be mine yet the catch is this: if you leave a second time, you’ll leave a third and a fourth and I won’t sit around and wait for you. I will not be your game and I sure as hell won’t be played. You asked me earlier if I loved you and I said yes, what’s your answer? I haven’t gotten one yet.
A few months ago when I first met you, we instantly became best friends. I was able totell you anything and everything and you would never judge me. You knew my deepest darkest shattering secrets and when I cried, you held me. You gave me everything that I could have ever asked for. I realized now that I don’t want anyone taking you from me. Some friendships are destined to end while others are destined to get stronger with love and that’s what I am starting to feel.
Yet when I first talked to you, you hated me. Meeting me was fine but before you got achance to hang out with me, you couldn’t stand me.
You are very handsome and much different from any other guy that I met. You had a place in my heart from the very beginning. You hold doors for me, you rememberthings about me that no one else could and when we first talked, we talked about our exes and bonded on how much wrong they have done.
But all of that is allowed to change, isn’t it? Anyone can take back three words but they can’t take back all the good and bad memories that they left impressed on someone’s heart. Here’s the worse thing: I can’t erase the good memories because those are the moments that I love the most. I know everyone says “remember the good and forget the bad” but how do you remember the good when you realize what was good will never be there again? It is remembering the bad that keeps people moving on because if we were to remember the good of every relationship ever ended, we’d all be depressed and lonely.
But I’m accepting. I can burn the pictures and the notes. I can do things to get you off my mind. I can talk to new people to stop myself from wanting to talk to you. But the one thing I can’t do is un-love you and like I said, I accept.
I cannot believe that I was stupid enough to think that you would ever leave me, Gabriel but I was scared because I knew that there would never be anyone after you. What can I say? You were my one true love and you don’t get a true love twic
