It was as if he first met me where I was at. He knew all the right things to say. Eventually, I'd have to pay. Interlinked. Whenever I would see him my heart would sink. I loved it when he would tuck my hair behind my ear and kiss my forehead. He said, we'd be forever. Never did I think it would take me to the depths, of all this despair. To be fair, it created a tear so deep in me, I'd never sleep. Soon, I would be at his feet. When I would weep, he would creep. Taking this leap, he showed me through my weakness that I would be strong again. Now I long for 'the one.' So, that I may never become a hue of who I was before. For now, I choose life. Because strife is the one I used to see as the man for me.
