My sad love story

by Jamie
(Ormond Beach)

I was young when I met him but could just feel that there was something special there between us. His smile just lit up a room and every time i was near him my heart fluttered uncontrollably.

At that time our love was forbidden but we secretly stayed friends... A few years went by and i was almost of age to date him openly but i didn't want to wait, the heart wants what the heart want. We did okay for the first few months but being i was still underage we were forced to separate and i was completely and utterly devastated.

How could they not see how much we cared for one another, i just couldn't understand. To me it felt like a modern day Romeo and Juliet star crossed lovers type of deal. we both ended up going through some pretty tough ordeals and lost contact with each other.

But fate is a tricky sort of thing, we again found each other six years later, he was just as i remembered and once we got to talking it was as if no time had passed at all. I still loved him more than ever! We dated and talked of marriage and starting a family and then i do the unthinkable i let my jealousy and stubbornness tear us apart... i was so afraid of losing him that i wound up pushing him away anyway, how could i do this to myself? how could i ruin something that could have been perfect? i ruined my happy ending, i ruined my life.
