Love Story

I fell in love, once.
It was inevitable from the day,
The instant that we met
That we would.
We were inseparable,
Born worlds apart,
Yet like the closest of brothers.

It took a long time for us
To truly find each other,
To solidify what we both already knew.
But, when we did,
It was as if a light had been switched on somewhere.
For the first time in my life,
Everything seemed to make sense.

Everything was perfect,
For a while.
We had each other and as far as we
Were concerned the rest of the world could
Go to hell.
We were in love,
We were together
And we were not going to be
Torn apart.

And then he left.

He promised me that he'd come home to me,
That it wouldn't be for long.
He promised me that I'd get to wake up in his arms
And feel the warmth of his skin on mine again,
Soon.
But I never did.
He left me, lost, alone, broken
In a world where I couldn't function alone.
He was my oxygen supply,
And with him gone,
I was drowning

I was destroyed, after that.
I hid myself away from the world,
And on top of losing him,
I lost contact with too many of the people that
I care about.
I wasn't there for them when I should have been,
Yet, after everything,
All I want is to know that they've forgiven me.
