Introduction:
If you are looking for a tale of love, of "boy meets girl" with the typical 'hey lived happily ever after' ending, then stop right now. Walk away and don' look back. This is a tale of the truth. It removes the rose-tinted glasses that everyone wears. This story tells of how love can be hell and can be feared by those who have been caught up in it before.
When you read the word "love", what did you think? Love-hearts, flowers and chocolate I'll bet. Me? I picture a young girl. A young girl, with almost nineteen years of life under her belt, standing in a park as the rain falls pours down on top of her. As she stand there in a black shirt and faded grey jeans, her eyes deep and blue are fixed on one couple. A young boy and his girlfriend, standing together laughing in the rain. As they move closer, the young girl's faded grey jeans splash silently into a puddle. Sobbing, she watches as the person she loves is kissed by another. Her heart breaks as she watches the one person she loves completely and irrevocably dance with another in the rain.
Now would be the point that I tell you that this girl is in love with the guy yes? Well, no. In fact, the girl is in love with his girlfriend. This tale is not a traditional one. This is a tale of a girl who suffers from the most deadliest of love diseases. This is a tale of a girl who suffers from the love disease commonly known as Unrequited Love.
