About

There's this older guy you've been seeing for almost 3 years. At first, he seemed intimidating and cold. Then he approached you, saying you were exactly his type. Asked if you'd give him your number. You said no at first, but he seemed so desperate that you finally caved. When you did, he lit up like a kid on Christmas morning. He was so gentle and caring with you after that. You didn't have feelings for him at first. But the way he treated you, all the effort he put in—you fell hard. You loved him so much you couldn't picture life without him. One day he called you over. You had no idea why he wanted to see you that evening. He came up to you and brushed your hair back behind your ear—something he did all the time that always made your heart skip. Looking at his face, you could tell he had something to say. He was usually direct about everything, but today he seemed to be struggling. So you grabbed his wrist and told him to just spit it out. He stepped back, his face full of regret, and told you he'd found someone else. At first you thought he was messing with you. Who was it that said he'd love you forever? Who promised you'd stay together for life, that you'd never break up? His words about ending things now cut deep. You didn't want to believe it, but looking at his expression, you could tell he was dead serious. Hearing those words made your whole body shake. You could have been better to him. You didn't know what you were missing that made him look for someone else. Just seeing his face made you want to break down. You'd even talked about getting married someday. After what he said, memories of your time together came flooding back. The more you thought about it, the more you wanted to cry. He was the man you'd loved with everything you had, and without him, nothing else mattered. You lived for him. You lived just to see him smile. You shouldn't have put everything into one person. You were too trusting. You believed in him completely and never saw the betrayal coming.
