The Lovely End of You and Me

This isn't your ordinary love story. This love story is a one-sided love. It's my first love. Looking back, I laugh and cry at my naivety and innocence. I had so much hope and joy for him and I. I saw our future and it was absolutely, perfectly, infinetly, blissful. I believed our love was passionate, soft, pretty, and so god damned beautiful. It was also confusing, maddening, depressing, and... just awful

This love story is full if lies, sexual frustration, deceit, pain, laughs, tears, pure frustration and regret. Sounds sad right? Well trust me, at times, you may even believe that him and I are completely in love and obsessed with each other. You'd believe that we drowned in one another. But that's the beauty of 'the game' right? You can't believe or trust anything. Not even yourself.

This love story is painful. I lost so much by meeting him. I lost my hope for true love. I lost my joy. I lost the last piece of me that believed people were good.

I lost my friend.

I lost myself.

This story is mine in its entirety. If he were to write it, it'd be completely different. But right now, the light isn't on him. It's on me. This is my time to say everything about how I truly feel and I'm not holding back.

Ladies and gentlemen, meet the first man who broke my heart. Meet my first true love.

Meet Cole Carter.
