I've been locked away in my room ever since graduation.
I felt numb and empty, and there was nothing I could do to stop it.
I've never been heartbroken before, so I didn't know how to cope.
My heart ached for her, and I missed her more than ever.
I just wanted to hold her and kiss her again, but I couldn't.
I looked at pictures and videos of us together every day, I even reread some of our text messages.
I've tried calling her, but it went to voicemail every single time. When I tried to text her, the messages never delivered. It was crystal clear that she blocked me. I just couldn't bring myself to understand why.
She claimed she loved me, but she replaced me in the twinkling of an eye.
I wanted to forget about her. I wanted to forget about all of the good memories we had together, but I couldn't. She was unforgettable.
The first woman I ever gave my heart to crushed it into a million pieces.
I figured it was karma from all of the hearts I've broken, because I couldn't convince myself that we were anything less than perfect for each other.
I sighed, realizing it was time for me to go outside.
I went to my closet to find something to wear when I saw it.
Trinity and I decided to write love letters to each other on our six month anniversary. We promised we'd open it ten years later, but I couldn't stop myself from tearing the letter open.
Dear Xabriel,
I hope you're reading this ten years later like we discussed! Anyways, it's been ten years now and I know we're still together because there's no way I could make it without you. You're the air to my lungs, the water to my ocean, and the sun to my cloudy skies. No one's more perfect for me than you are. I want to grow old with you, and I want to die with you. I don't want to live a day without you by my side because you mean everything to me. I love the way you hold me when I'm sad. I love the way you kiss me so tenderly. I love the way your eyes light up when you see me. I love the way you compliment me, but most importantly, I love the way you love me. Your love makes me feel so overwhelmed with happiness and joy. I know they say no one is perfect, but you're so perfect to me. I know we won't see eye to eye all of the time, and I know there will be some grey skies, but I know we'll get through it. Our love is stronger than any obstacle we may face. I know we'll keep fighting for each other because we're soulmates. Even if we stray away, we'll find our way back to each other. I love you, baby, forever and always.
