The Moment That Changed Everything

One

People often ask me what happened, I simply answer, I grew up the moment everything changed.

So here I lie, alone and unhappy. I haven't been myself since it happened. At that very moment, I changed - maybe for the best. I grew up and became something I promised him I wouldn't, myself.

The good times we had still remain but in a distant memory. Maybe all of this happened for a reason but I ask myself why would so much pain be for a reason?

As a little girl I always believed in love but as I grew up, it all changed. I've never believed in love at first sight. His serene irises dug holes into me and immediately found their way to my heart. He changed my whole aspect on love and made me believe in love at first sight.

Throughout the months we shared together, he slowly but surely changed me into a better person. Never failing to make me smile even when I thought I'd never smile again. He was my reason to be happy.

He warned me several times that someday he'd eventually break me but I repeatedly told him he couldn't break something that's already broken.

He was band-aid and now without it, I'll eventually bleed out. If he loved me, why did he leave me?

You meet thousands of people and none of them really touch you but then you meet that one person and that moment, everything changes. He was that one for me, then he left.

It's wrong of me to blame him on his departure, he warned me about this. We fought together.

Would I take back everything we went through? No, I wouldn't take back one second. He was in my life for a reason.

The day he died was the day I turned into the person I used to be. I promised him I wouldn't and one day I'll teach our unborn child to keep promises.
