I’ve always believed that we all have that one person, the one we’ll love for the rest of our lives. For me, that person showed up on December 10, 2011. What started out as a lighthearted joke between us quickly became something bigger, something I never expected… and ultimately, the biggest farce of my life. But in the middle of all that, he made me laugh, made me feel seen, and—more than anything—made me feel alive. There was something about him that drew me in, something I couldn’t resist no matter how hard I tried.Looking back now, I know his role in my life is over. We’ve lived separate lives for over a decade now. No texts. No calls. It was like we vanished from each other’s worlds. I moved on—dated new people, tried new things, and even thought I was happier than ever. And I was, at least I thought so.
Then last weekend happened. I saw him for the first time in forever. And just like that, every wall I had built around my heart came crashing down. One smile. One look. That’s all it took. There’s something about him that no one else has. Something only he can spark in me. It’s insane how after all this time, with just a glance, he can still leave me feeling weak.
It made me realize something: He is my one true love. That one I’ve always dreamed of, the one I thought I’d left behind. But life has a funny way of reminding you that some things never change. One day, I’ll fully move on. I know that. I’ve been through enough to know I’ll get there… just not today.
But hey, have you ever had that one person who never really leaves your heart? I’d love to hear your story if you’re up for sharing.
