Beautiful Redemption

My love for him was volatile, uncontrollable, and overpowering, but…that was love. Love was real.

I wasn’t the first, but I would be the last. That didn’t make me the second prize. It made me his forever.

“If I were going to give you my future, I’d need you to move on from the past.”

I loved someone before, but the way I feel about you…it’s that feeling, a thousand times over.

“Are you hurt?”

“Just my pride.”

I have motherfucking finesse. Just because I speak my mind means I’m not tactful?

“It’s somewhere in the unforeseen when the best, most important moments of our lives seem to happen.”

We’d had to find each other to finally understand that love could not be controlled. Predictions, assumptions, and absolutes were illusions. My love for him was volatile, uncontrollable, and overpowering, but…that was love. Love was real.

I’d finally found the kind of love that was worth risking a broken heart.

I wasn’t the first, but I would be the last. That didn’t make me the second prize. It made me his forever.
