** "Why can't you love me?" I screamed, tears running down my face along with the all the makeup I had carefully applied earlier that evening. "I do love you," his voice lacked any sense of regret as he rolled his green eyes, "just not enough to stay." And in that moment I realized that our ideas of 'love' were completely different. That I shouldn't have grown love on shorelines..only for them to wash away every remnant of my love with every new way that crashed in. Just as my heart began to find peace in the fact that it will never love again, until a curly haired, brown eyed piece of love waltzed his way into my life. His smiles, laughter and voice were pure magic. But was I ready to love again?
