For The Past Is My Mistake

Written by @Infinity_LLYY

For all of us knows that each of our pasts are full of pain, heartbreak and of course those happy moments. I am not one of those people. My past isn't that very much dramatic besides my mother leaving me at the age of seven. Every day after that, I was raised up by my father who had time for his beloved daughter even though he was piled with cases after cases. He is a lawyer, yes.

But most of us don't have perfect families. I certainly don't and I don't ask for anything more or less. I didn't have a wonderful childhood. I didn't believe in fairies or angels or anything in that matter. Maybe that's what makes me so childish now.

I never believed in angels coming and rescuing me from my loneliness. I never believed in fairies coming out of the woods and putting a flower crown on my head. I never believed in true love, I didn't even know what love was.

But now, I'm a hopeless romantic that's just waiting for her Prince Charming to come and save her. But there is no happily ever after is there? There is no such thing as living in peace forever because first of all, there is no forever. We all have a deadline somewhere and two, we're humans. We will never get happily ever afters. We make mistakes and we suffer because of other humans.

I know that what I just said will be though of not even once but please, think about it. For my name is Cresent Ilyssa Reinhart, the daughter of Robert Jones Reinhart the Third and that other lady who my father used to love.

I will not bore you with my life story but I will warn you. My life changed with one person and that person is Thayne Syndey MacMillan. For he is my imperfect Prince Charming. I know he will make mistakes and I will love him for that.

Wait. Love? No. I don't love Thayne. I just met him a while ago. I know I don't love him. I'm too young and well, I don't even know what love is. Anyways, I always imagined my Prince Charming to have blond hair, a sharp jawline, high cheekbones and built up buff. But Thayne?

Thayne is even more than that. He stands at 6"4, large icy blue eyes that have gold specks near his pupils, a tall lean figure with a body to die for, literally. He's closed off, reserved, and he isn't mine.

I admire him from afar but I can only wish that he was mine but I will never learn from my mistakes. For the day that I met Thayne, I lost someone dear to me. Someone who I never thought would leave me, and with that, he was my backbone. He never knew that of course but I did.

He was my wings when mine gave up, he was my backbone that held me straight, he was my food that gave me strength, he was my savior on Earth. So Thayne Sydney MacMillan, I, Cresent Ilyssa Reinhart, discovered something while being your friend. I love you, more than anything. I just hope that you stay long enough to realize that. For I, don't want to end up like that pair of star crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet.

I haven't forgotten our late night conversations. I haven't forgotten our late night cup of tea. I haven't forgotten anything.
