All We Had

My boyfriend

Andy.

He was my first and only true love.

He was always by my side.

In everything.

I can't explain our love but he was perfect. He was all I wanted. Strong. Kind. Christian. Fun. Honest. Also, unbelievably cute. I never had to call he was always there. He was there to comfort me. He was there to encourage me. He was there. I could never think about anything but him. Just his presence would fix me.

His favorite thing to do was horseback riding. He had six horses of his own. His favorite color was a deep blue. Like the depths of the ocean or night sky. His dad taught him how to fix trucks and motorcycles. He always had an old bike in his garage that he was working on. Some nights he stayed at my house because he wasn't welcome at home. His step-dad was unbearable from what he's told me. 

I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. That's what he wanted too. He told me almost every week. In his deep country accent. He talked about our kids. How he wanted a house on acres of land. How we could raise horses and livestock. Maybe some chickens just for my brother. He talked about how I could have my own photography studio. He talked about us being together forever. 

We were in love.

I guess it's over now.
