Could have thought so if I didn’t have my head on straight.
My HS sweetheart, the “love of my life” came back 30 years later saying it was all a mistake when he left me.
He devastated me when he left. I was so invested in him. Somewhere in my heart, the candle had burned brighter than i dared to admit.
I was married now and happy.
I cried and cried. I cried tears that I thought had been cried out decades earlier.
Then, I looked at the man he had become. Although he was every bit as successful as I knew he would be, he was still discontent, and still surrounded by drama.
Then I looked at the amazing man I was married to. He was everything I had hoped my HS sweetheart would become and more.
He treats me like a queen, adores me, respects me, and makes my heart go pitter patter.
The whole experience was so healing. I realized that even though life had brought disappointment and didn’t always go according to plan, I was exactly where I was supposed to be, and with the one I was supposed to be with.
