My Internal Romantic Glow Up
I met him at thirteen years old
He's my soul mate, I thought
He would be my husband in five years
When I would be old enough for our relationship to be legal
He was five years older and I still loved him
I loved him because of that
And not for much else
And losing him was the hardest thing I had to go through
I met him when I was eighteen
We had everything in common
We never had disagreements
Even about the smallest things
And some of the biggest things
He really is my soul mate
I love everything about him
I gave him everything
He gave me everything
And losing him was the hardest thing I had to go through
A million times harder than losing my first love
When i was thirteen
And he was five years older
Because that wasn't real love
But this was
He's my soulmate
And hearing him say the words
"I don't love you"
Made me question everything I ever thought I knew about love
And maybe he isn't my soulmate
But at least this was based on something real
