The Bible says Love Never Fails, so if it failed, it wasn't love.
ᏃHᎪᏒIᎪᏁ SᎾᏞᎪᏟᎬ -
My breathing stops and my steps falter, giving me the lightheaded feeling.
Not even 100 yards away, Alastor dismounts his horse, and Althaea runs up to him.
I will never forgive Alastor for what he did.
I will never want him again.
But I still love him.
I love him like you will always love your childhood show even though you never watch it anymore.
I love him like you love an old toy you will always remember.
I love him like you love your best friend in kindergarten before you grew apart.
I love him.
But I'm not in love with him.
A part of me knows I'll always love Alastor, even as he wraps his arm around Althaea.
I'll love him through the memories of the abuse.
I'll love him through the memories of the rape.
I'll love him because he was my first love.
But he had failed me.
And I had failed myself when I agreed to marry him.
