It was june of 2008, and I had realized that I was in love with my best friend of 1 year, Adrianna. We got together and had only been together for 1 week before she had to go away for 6 weeks and told me that she didn't love me. I was confused, I had just left her house, giving her a kiss goodbye, and she told me this by texting me.
I didn't talk to her for 2 months after that, no texts, emails, or phone calls. I was SO hurt. At first I spent the days trying to tell myself that she was just a girl, and that my life would go on. About 3 days after she broke up with me, I realized that I love her with all that I am, and that I was not willing to just give that up. I know we were only together for only a week, but I loved her for almost a year.
I was raised a catholic man, so I spent the next 2 months, every night praying, asking God to please give me a second chance with her. Every night for two months I would end the prayer the same. "Please Lord, give me the strength, and wisdom to gain her love again."
I would go out on bike rides at 2 am to pray in the environment God intended for us.
Well, 2 months had passed, and I was still praying. I saw her for the first time in 8 weeks, but did not have the courage to talk to her.
It was september at this point, and it KILLED me to see her everyday. She would talk to her friends, telling them that she never wanted to talk to me again, never wanted to hear our names in the same sentence again.
I spent the next 2 months Just trying to get her to talk to me again.
It had been 4 months since I talked to her, and she sent me a text message saying that she missed me being her friend, and that we should be friends again. When I got this text message, I was SO ecstatic!!
It was about 1 month that we re-built our friendship we had before.
I had seen how she acted around another one of her friends, the way she did with me right before we went out. It was scary, I had spent the last 5 months crying, praying, hoping for her to love me again.
I freaked out. I talked to her one day, knowing that I would regret it if I didn't. I told her that I love her, and that I never stopped loving her. She then told me that her girlie friend thought that her and the other guy were perfect for eachother, she then continued to say "but I know someone else who's perfect for me" as she looked at me like she did when we first went out.
It was November 7th, 2008, And I spent 6 hours on a bench, hugging her, kissing her cheek every once in a while, telling her I love her.
The pain I went through was completely worth holding her again, knowing that she loves me just as I love her. It is now november 2nd, 2009. We are still together, and our 1 year anniversary is this saturday, the 7th.
I spent 5 months, feeling like I wanted to die, feeling like I had failed her, feeling like I had lost the only part of my life that I'd die for.
We're Now engaged, getting married this summer.
I thank God every day that I can have such a wonderful, smart, outgoing , beautiful Angel in my life.
I want to say, that even if you think you've lost all hope, all drive, and that one person that you want to be with every waking moment; it's completely up to YOU what happens next. If it's true love, you'll bare all the pain in the world to just have a chance and holding your love one more time.
Anyone who reads this, just don't give up, DON'T let the pain get the best of you.
