You Belong With Me
Authors Note: Wow it's been a long time since I've written anything. This story came to mind because right now I'm dealing with a guy who I'm still hoping that we will get back together after being apart for the last eight years. It's a complicated story but I will do my best to tell it and I hope you guys enjoy it. Not sure how it will turn out yet but we will see.
It's been eight years since they've been together and everyday for the last eight years she has missed him. For eight years she has thought about him on and off and wondered why they never survived. Wondered went had gone so horrible wrong and what she could have done differently to make him stay. She remembers being so happy with him and wanting nothing more than to stay with him forever but forever was not in the cards at the time.
She thinks back to the time when they had first gotten together. They were both young only in their early twenties but they had known each other for a lifetime before that. They had been boyfriend and girlfriend when they were young but when your ten your priorities are different and so things at that age do not last forever. She remembers their first date ever and how nervous she was when he picked her up that warm summer night. Just the two of them riding around in that old beat up truck that he still has just enjoying being with each other.
She remembers one night in particular that they went to his favorite spot that he used to go to when he needed to think. It was pitch black outside and they had to climb up a very big hill to get to the top and once they had made it to the top the view of the whole town was breath taking. She remembers that night clearly because that night was the night she realized that he was the one she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. To this day she would give anything to go back to that night and be in those arms again.
She also remembers the night that her heart broke in to millions of pieces. He had called her and told her that he needed some space. She couldn't understand why he wanted space because she thought everything was fine with them. She tried to get him back but he didn't want it. A few months after that he had emailed her asking if she would take him back but she was angry with him for leaving her and so instead of taking him back she let him go again wishing after that she hadn't. She had to endure watching him with his new girlfriend jealous all the while and hating both of them for it. She knew that he knew she was jealous but she would never admit that to his face. She would rather hold it back then to say anything for fear of losing her best friend.
So for eight years they have both suffered. He suffers because he's in a love less relationship that he wants to get out of but is too afraid to leave. She suffers because she let him go twice knowing she was hurting herself in the long run but was way to stubborn to let him win.
Now they are working on getting back together. They both know that they've made some really bad mistakes through the years. They have both taken ownership for the things that they've done both knowing that they finally have another chance to make things right again so that they can get back together. You would think this would be easy but unfortunately it's only the beginning of a very long and bumpy road that she wonders if they will ever get to the end and finally be together like they've both wanted for so long.
