You know, it was never supposed to turn out this way. Life had me going down a road that seemed to make me happy. Which I was, I was truly happy about my life. But then there's Fate. Fate, god Fate was crazy. Fate showed me what Life had lied to me about, and led me on a different path. An unexpected one. I never would think a happy relationship of 4 years, would reveal a liar and show me my real happiness was with someone unexpected.
