"Sometimes people walk into your life and leave footprints on your heart and you're never ever the same."

Lots of people have walked in and out of my life. Some for the good, some for the bad, but none the same as this one person. This one person who may have only been in my life for a short period of time changed me immensely.

Last year, I went through a breakup that was interesting, one could say. At the time that it happened, I didn't care, I didn't care one bit, and I acted like everything was the same. I thought I would be fine, but a couple months later, I wasn't. I would cry myself to sleep at night knowing that things didn't go down the way I would have wanted.

I spent my days dwelling on what would happen if I didn't break up with him. To say the least, I wasn't okay, I was less than okay. It was one of the hardest months I've been through until suddenly someone came along who changed everything.

I didn't expect it to happen, it was actually the last thing I thought would happen. I knew of this guy, but I didn't talk to or know him personally. At first, it was a desperate thing, which turned into something more serious than ever. What happened was something that caught me off guard. My friend and I started hanging out with this guy and his friend, we were all the best of friends.

We were together almost every day and had loads of laughs, good times and great hangouts. It was some of the best weeks of my life. What I didn't know was how it would affect my life the way it did.

One of the guys in the group and I started to become closer and closer. We would be up until three in the morning almost every night in my car talking and sharing our life stories. We would text all the time. We would have the best time together. After about a month of that, he asked me out, and I felt like I was in heaven, everything was going great for me.

To say that this guy and I were in love, was an understatement. We spent almost every waking moment together, loving each other immensely. I can 100 percent say that I have never ever felt so comfortable around someone. I felt like I could be myself, and do whatever and he wouldn't judge me.

We both had struggles in our life, kind of the same family situation, in a way. But what made the struggles go away, was the support we gave to each other. Not one day went by that he didn't support me. No matter what time of day, he was always there for me and was down to come over and let me sit in his arms and cry to him.

He told me it would all be okay and that I had him and that he would help me, which is exactly what he did. I believed him that everything would be okay because it was him.

I loved him for many reasons.

I loved his eyes.

I loved his smile.

I loved his personality.

I loved the way he cared for me.

I loved the way he made me laugh like no other.

I loved our jokes we had and the laughs we shared.

I loved that I could share every part of my day with someone, good and bad.

I loved the way he loved me when I couldn't love myself.

I loved the way he believed in me.

I loved the way I could tell him anything and he wouldn't judge me.

I LOVED HIS HUGS! (He gave the most magnificent hugs in the world.)

I just loved how he let me be myself. He was the perfect guy for me, and I really believed that. He was everything I needed and wanted. He was my everything.

I never thought anything could go wrong until it did go wrong. We always fought here and there but then the fights became an everyday thing.

If a day went by without fighting, that would be a miracle day. At the end of the day, it was unhealthy for both him and I. Going on like that, probably would have been worse in the long run.

Of course, I knew the fighting was bad, but I didn't want to end things, I loved him so much, more than I loved anyone before. I counted on him and trusted him like no other. I relied on his support and good vibes to get me through my day. I needed him by my side to be okay, or so I thought.

Well, we broke up, and it wasn't pretty. Sitting in my car, as I heard the words "I think we need to break up...," was the worst thing that could happen. I felt like my world was ending, my perfect guy was leaving. I knew as soon as he stepped out of that car everything would be different, and it was.

I have no one to share what happened in my days with. I have no one to gossip to. I have no one to just invite over for fun. I have no one to cuddle with when I'm feeling down and need a hug. I have no one to pick up when I have to go somewhere by myself and am too scared.

I have myself, and my friends of course, but it's different. I spent almost every day with this one guy, who I thought would be there forever.

I know the breakup was for the best, and I know it was the right thing. But as of right now, it feels like my world is ending, it feels like I won't be okay. I sit here blaming myself and thinking about what I could have done to change things, but I probably couldn't have. I know I'm not OK right now, but I have hope that with time, I will be.

If I could say anything to him it would be thank you. Thank you for everything and anything you've done for me. Thank you for being my rock. Thank you for the great memories we've made that I'll never forget. Thank you for the way you believed and supported in me. Thank you for being you, and thank you for loving someone as crazy as me.

He may not know it, but he left a footprint on my heart that will surely be there forever. I never knew someone like this would walk into my life so suddenly the way it did. I never knew this person would change my life the way he did, but he did it. He shaped me into who I am at this very moment.

He made me want to be a better person and to do better in life and that is what I will still strive to do. Without him, this wouldn't be possible. Thank you for the long lasting imprint you gifted me, I will be sure to use it wisely.
