Two years ago. I had it all, the perfect girl, the best job and an amazing life. And then within a blink of an eye, it was all gone. I lost her. The person that I thought I would marry, the love of my life. Although we didn't date for very long, I loved her more than anything. She made me happy when I was sad and excited to wake up everyday. Waking up to her, was the best thing. Looking into her eyes, studying her face as she smiled at me.  Now I wake up alone, trying to remember her next to me and the feeling of her against my skin. It's hard to say that I haven't gotten over her. I see her everyday and since the day it ended, nothing has been the same. I remember the exact words ,
"I love you too much to make you suffer like this"
And with that it was over. She was protecting me because she loved me. Now I don't know how she feels. We used to talk constantly and hang out but now I can barely look in her eyes. When we do scenes together, I am overwhelmed with happiness and joy because I get to look at her and she looks as me. It's hard to not want to cry every time I see. My heart broke that day and I believe that it will never be able to be put back together. I shouldn't have let her leave. I shouldn't have said goodbye. I needed to fight for her and me, but I was too afraid of losing everything. In the end I lost it all anyways. She was my everything. My happiness, joy and life. People didn't know what happened with us. We kept it a secret for a while, till it wasn't and that's when it all blew up. She loved him first. He had her first. He loved her. And I came second. I had her heart. She couldn't decide what she wanted and that's why she broke things off. He left her without saying goodbye. She had a ring on her finger. He left and wasn't supposed to come back. She let go of him and gave her heart to me. Almost a year he was gone. No texts or phone calls saying that he was coming back. I remember that night. We were peacefully tangled up on her couch, just about to doze off. When a sound of keys jingling came from the door. He walked in just like he never left. She jumped up and ran into his arms. Tears streamed from her eyes and a smile plastered her face. It was like I didn't exist. She wiped the tears from her face and looked at me with defeat. I got up and started to walk to the door. She grabbed my arm and said to stay. She walked out the door and pulled him out to the hallway. I sat on the couch and tried to keep myself together. I heard muffled sounds. They had to have been out there for at least 30 mins. I convinced myself that she forgot about me. In a trance by his bright blue eyes. She forgot about me. She walked back in by herself. I got up towards the door and she stopped me. She told me that nothing was going to change. I was the one she loved. And that I didn't have to worry about anything. I fell for it. I should have not let myself fall. I knew their history. Did I really believe that she would choose me over him? They were still technically engaged, but he wasn't supposed come back. I told
her that I loved her. She just nodded and smiled. Things were different, I could already feel it. She didn't look at me with the same compassion and love. She looked at her hand, where her ring used to be and smiled halfway. I stood there watching her fall in love with him again. He broke her heart and she still smiled with the thought of him. I was there when she needed me to be and I never left her side when she was crying. And still any day she will choose him over me. They had their future planned and I had ours. I was going to be with her forever. I had finally got the girl of my dreams and was ready to make her mine forever. She looked back up at me with tear filled eyes. She stared at me and started to cry. Her heart was breaking into pieces. She didn't know mine was breaking even more. As soon as he came in my heart was broken. I knew a guy like me would never have a shot at winning a girl like her. And I was right. She stared at me and tears pored down her face. I wiped them from her face. She grabbed my hand and rubbed it. She was saying goodbye. The exact words, " Grant, my life has been so amazing and wonderful since you became apart of it. I love you, I promise. But Rick, he's my fiancé. He left because he was going through some stuff and didn't want to drag me through it. He still loves me. A part of me has always loved him. I'm not saying that we are over and that Rick and I are getting married.  You deserve the world. Someday someone special will give that to you. I need you to know that I don't know my feelings yet and I'm doing this because I love you too much to make you suffer like this."
She grabbed her things and walked out the door. Gone. Forever. My whole world came crashing down in 1 hour and I couldn't do anything to stop it.
