Have you ever had to move away from the place you loved? See everything you once knew as your home and best friend vanish before your eyes. Lydia Teru experienced this very thing, studying the grey clouds outside of the plane window as she peered down at the distant land beneath her, leaving everything she adored behind. Lydia was absolutely certain that in Florida, where she was forced to move, her heart would not fall for anything. Not the new school which she had to attend, or the students, not even the beach that she had always seen as breathtaking. She swore to herself that she wouldn't let her heart adopt anything in Florida, thinking that maybe, just maybe, her mother would rethink the move and begin to steer her thoughts on Washington once again. However, Lydia's heart betrayed her and did the complete opposite to which she prayed for it not to. Her simple, sweet, heart adopted an interest in Florida and immediately became fond of the phrase, "love at first sight". When Lydia finally concludes that nothing could go wrong in this loveable environment, everything crumbles down in front of her, and Lydia is suddenly afraid that she doesn't know how to get past all of it.
"If you asked me three months ago what heartbreak was, I would tell you it's losing somebody close to you due to unspeakable circumstances.
But right now, in this moment, I would say it's you.
I would say it's the feeling I got in my chest when I realized I was out of time.
When I stood in the rain and yelled for you to stay, but all I saw was your back.
I would say heartbreak is lying in bed at two in the morning, watching my ceiling fan go around and around, wondering why you couldn't stop to listen.
Two seconds. All I needed was two seconds to say the words.
All I needed was to seconds for me to tell you I was in love with you. With everything about you. With the way you move, and the feeling of your arms around me. With the feeling of your chest vibrating as you laugh.
Heartbreak is falling in love with everything about you, but having the words permanently stuck in my throat."
