The first time I said I love you I was torn apart.

My heart swelled up,

Full of emotion,

I knew a piece of me would be shared with you,

That shared piece chose to believe,

Chose to hope,

Chose to love,

Despite knowing I was not the one,

Despite all odds,

We shared and engaged in each other

Briefly yet that is all that remains,

Memories

That turn into stories.
