This picture was taken on May 7th, 2011; one of the happiest days of my life, Senior Prom. I don’t even like dancing, or attending school sponsored functions in general, especially a high school dance. But, with him, I was able to do anything in life without a single care in the world. This goes way beyond Senior Prom; I mean that I was able to completely love and respect myself to the highest potential and learn exactly what it means to really put another person before yourself.
Over the course of a little over a year, he taught me how to smile just because I am alive, laugh just because there is no reason not to be happy, dream just because they will all come true, cry just because my heart has never felt this much, believe just because hope can take you to places you had never even thought that you could ever reach, love just because it is the only thing that one truly needs in life; he taught me how to fall in love.
The day that I met him last May, I mean the second that I walked up to him to meet him on our blind date, I knew that he was the one. He was so comfortable and confident in himself, he was so easy to talk to and he had the cutest laugh. He was so interesting and appreciative of what he had, he was so genuine and he had the most beautiful smile. From that moment on, I knew that my heart would never feel the same way again.
We have been through so much together, but we always work through every single hardship that we have faced. We are no longer a couple because of given circumstances, but we are still very close friends. I am moving today, on July 27th, 2011, three hours away. Yesterday, I had to say goodbye to him and it was one of the hardest things that I have ever had to do. I said goodbye to a part of my soul, to a part of my heart, to a part of who I truly am. But, I am not afraid, because what is meant to be will always find a way. One day I am going to say hello again, and that hello will never be accompanied with a goodbye, but a forever.
