'I love you' is a phrase that two people exchange when there is a certain type of feeling inside, giving them that tender feeling of joy. There are some people who don't deserve that feeling of euphoria. I am one of those people. I remember first saying those three words, constructing a grin on your face from ear to ear. The corners of your lips spread farther, revealing your perfectly aligned teeth. I anticipated for those three words in return. That is all I wanted, to feel loved; and you gave that to me. Well, you used to...

Saying I love you is hard, showing that person is even harder. This is is a story of love between two people you least expect to fall in love, they have several things aginst them. Family, friends, but most of all time due to age. See one is somewhat young the other not so much, but does he care, no he wants her and sets out to get what he wants. This is totally fictional I own none of the people in this story. It is my creation.

"...if you wonder why I'm smiling, it's because I'm happy with you." as he softly sang, I could feel my eyes well up with tears, I tried blinking them back but it was no use, once the flood gates open, it is difficult to close. Still looking into my eyes, he whispered the three worded phrase I adore coming from his mouth, "I love you..."

The love I have for you cannot be explained. You just the one person I can't seem to stop thinking about. The person I feel I'm gonna be in love with for the rest of my life. I can't seem to murmur the words I need to make you see how much you mean to me, how much I'd risk for you, how you are my whole world. All you have to do for me now is to turn around and say you feel the same. Please just stay.

When you find out your entire marriage has been a lie... The night before our sixth anniversary, my in-laws told me that my husband had gone out on a date with his ex, and had run off on the morning of our wedding until his father forced him to come back. For six years, I thought we'd been happy and that my husband loved me. Everything was a lie. And things just kept getting worse.

"I was holding onto him thinking the pain was worth it, my hands and heart ached trying to keep something which killed me not so softly. But as I started to let go of him, my soul felt lighter. And my heart? It'll take it's own time.", she gave a soft smile. You came into my life, Making it colourful than it was, You made me feel good, Like a blooming flower. But just like every season, This season changed too, You left me like a withering flower, Making me drown in my own pain. My mind still thinks about you, My heart still hurts, Don't want someone to mend it now, I can't give the same love back. Love is complex, funny and confusing. People often mix the idea of love with actually being in love and end up getting heartbroken. You can love a person and not realize it as you let them go while holding onto something that isn't yours.
