Your second love.
Without warning they will come into your life. Unexpected and in full force. They will come at a time that you needed them most, even if you thought you didn’t. Remember how after your first love you swore to yourself you would never go through this pain again? You cried yourself to sleep more times than you could count and you honestly thought that your life was at a never ending halt. Nothing could take that pain away of losing someone so important. Loving again was a far-fetched idea that you couldn’t wrap your head around. The idea of a second love was too much to bear. After all, your first love destroyed you. This heartbreak put up walls inside of you that you promised you’d never let down again. You would never go through this again.
Then your second love came around.
You didn’t expect to fall in love with this second person. At first the idea of falling in love with them started out as a mere daydream. You kept pushing them back a little because the fear was still fresh in your mind, no matter how many years had passed. You couldn’t let them in and have your heart broken again. Loving someone again was a strange thing you weren't sure you could get used to. However, love isn’t something that you forget how to do. Your second love is magical in the way that you don’t even realize your walls are being torn down. You don’t even realize you’re falling in love. The fear that was built up inside of you from losing your first love quickly dissipates. You ask yourself how it’s possible to feel this way after telling yourself true love was impossible to find. But here you are now, butterflies in your stomach and giggling like a little kid around this second love. You are happier than you could have ever imagined. Everything you look at has a little sparkle and you’re not sure why. This is all real. You are falling in love again.
Second loves.
They make you realize your first loves were simply not meant to be. You realize that this new person is everything you could have dreamed of. There are no shortcomings. No broken promises. No worries. There is nothing in your head telling you to stop loving them. Everything comes naturally. This second love is more important than your first one. They take you in when you are broken inside and unsure you could ever love again. They make you question how any previous love was enough to fulfill you because the way they love you is so incredibly raw and unbelievable. Second loves are your true soulmates. They are your forever and always.
The one you needed all along.
