All I've Ever Wanted

Part 9

That year we spent apart when you had moved onto college, I sobered up.

My parent got better, mom was home more, and dad had also sobered up. For the first time in years, I had an actual conversation with my parents and thing were finally looking up again. 

I had also thought I finally had gotten over you.

I even started dating a girl called Georgia (A mistake on my part), and I felt like I had been moving on with my life until I saw you.

You had cut your hair.

The long golden tresses I had always loved now fell to your shoulders and made you look older... not like the girl I knew growing up but I woman. 

And I had never wanted you more. 

But I was happy and so were you...

Your cheeks were flushed pink and full and I knew I would ruin you. 

So I made up the decision that we would have this summer as friends... and that I'd never see you again... that we'd both move on and be happy.

So I hugged you and made plans. I introduced you to Georgia who in turn treated you like absolute garbage and I sincerely apologize about that, and I dreamed of the perfect summer with you.

But as the days went on, I kept leaving you behind because I had wanted so desperately to make things work between me and Georgia.

And in my usual fashion, I broke your heart once more.

And looking back I wish I had done differently.

You deserved more than empty promises and broken sorry's.
