I remember the day I met him. He was charming and every time he spoke to me, I could feel myself giving him a tiny bit of my soul.

I looked deep into his eyes and I saw the battles he had fought and lost. One look was all it took for him to crash my defences. That was my biggest mistake. He did a lot, hurt me a lot and I justified every single thing he did. I took my love and misplaced it in his heart.

I remember the unkind words he spewed at me, how he played with my emotions; it all came flooding back to me. After all he did I don’t know why my soul still hasn’t let go of the memories of us. I don’t know why it keeps holding on to the broken pieces of us. I wish I could win the battle I have with my heart. I tried fighting what I felt and I’ve lost that battle every time.

Love exists, and once I find it, I’ll hold onto it. I’ll love someone the way I want to be loved. My souls deserves it. Love exists and is waiting for me and maybe next time it will be forever. I’m glad I’m learning to let go. Slowly but surely I’ll let go of everything.
