The Day the Sky Shattered and The Day My Heart Healed

This is a story that may be understood by some, but not by all. I'm in Grade 9, and this is my story. I met him on the Internet. He told me he had fallen in love with me and that I was the first person he trusted enough to tell his name.

I started to love him back. We both suffered from depression, he had a split personality, which was terrifying. His other side was cruel, emotionless, almost evil. He fought against this. We discussed the future- I loved him with all my heart. Being away from him caused me physical pain. We discussed children, and a house in the country. I promised to drive down as soon as I got my license. It was amazing.

But everything began to change. He grew distant, colder. He broke up with me and we made up multiple times. It finally ended. Badly. But today, I got closure. He said that he had indeed loved me, but that power had corrupted him. I might never stop loving him, but it's okay. Who's going to stop me? I have friends who love me, and a life to live. And until I'm over him, I'll listen to "Louder than Thunder" and remember what he taught me; What I'm capable of, what I'm not, what my breaking point is, and how far I'm willing to go. Thank you, Tom.
