The Life I Could Have Changed

Trust me when I say that I never intended for anything to happen this way.

Granted, this doesn’t condone for everything I’ve done. But I really didn’t mean to break the heart of quite possibly the most wonderful and special girl to ever step into my life.

I guess it’s just that I want to please everyone. My parents. My teachers. My girlfriend. Everyone. And I thought I had it all figured out and everyone was happy with what I was doing.

Then she came.

I mean if people are like rain then we’re all just a drizzle and she’s a hurricane. And just like a hurricane, she swirled into my life and blew away everything I had once believed and thought. By the time I realized I was irrevocably in love with her, it was too late. I had already tangled myself up into a future that I had realized I never wanted.

I had had so many chances to leave the life my parents wanted and just live my days with her. It was my final year in high school. I was legally of age. I could have done it and for oncehad the life that I wanted. Yet fate has a twisted way of working and the chance at a life I wanted soon became unattainable as I drove down the road of life. The girl that I had fallen for a fading image in a rearview mirror; her heart shredded to pieces, as well as mine.  

AN: Did anyone notice the John Green reference? :) Anyways, copyright for the quote goes to John Green's Looking For Alaska, which is an awesome book that you should all read....
