It was the summer before my senior year of high school when I met him. I had just got out of a serious relationship and I wasn't looking for anything serious. My best friend is the one who told me about him and that is how we got hooked up. Not wanting anything serious turned into me falling in love with him. I fell head over heels for him. We met in August and after that we were inseparable. I knew very quickly that I wanted to be with him for the rest of my life. We didn't even go through the typical stages like, talking, then dating. We just hit it off from the start. I can remember the first night hanging out with him, I was so nervous but, he made it so easy, though.

We dated throughout my senior year and it was so much fun. I loved being in love with my best friend. The only bad part about senior year was the fact that I was going off to college and I would have to leave him behind. After I graduated from high school we still continued to date. We counted down the days until I left. I will never forget the day that I had to leave him. It was so heartbreaking. I felt like my world was falling apart. However, we made it work through my first semester. I came home a lot to see him.

Over Christmas break, however, things got rough and we went on a break. Our relationship wasn't the same anymore. He drifted apart from me. In my opinion, though breaks just don't work, either you want to be together, or you don't. I wanted to make it work but, you have to have both partners trying to make it work.

Through our break I'm not going to lie, it was hard. There was a lot of crying involved. I got through it though and actually began healing. After a month we met up and talked about what we wanted to do. Of course, a part of me wanted him to come running back to me so we could be together forever. yet another part of me didn't want that to happen. During our break, I realized I had so much going for me in life and I didn't need to be distracted by relationship drama.

So we ended it.

I thought I had found the person I was going to spend the rest of my life with. But sadly I was wrong. I use to dream about our future all the time, our wedding and our future family. Now I don't. I think about the boy who broke my heart. I think about the boy who I THOUGHT was my one and only.

My broken heart is still healing but, I am hopeful that one day I'll find someone even better. Someone who will love me better. I'll always love the one who I thought was the one, and he will always have a place in my heart. I am so thankful that I got to experience this type of love, though. I will forever be thankful for the love I got to share with him.

So to the girl who thought she found the one I promise one day you actually will. One day you will find someone who sweeps you off your feet and you'll realize why the other guy wasn't the one. Letting go of that person is really hard but, I promise everything will be okay.
