One year on...
Everyone knows how exciting relationships are when they start. The chemistry leading up to a moment which can change your life. The tension mounts between you and the one you fancy until its unbearable and then you kiss. Just an innocent kiss, but the product of months of stolen looks and flirtation.
This is the start. The start of friendships breaking down, relationships with parents changing, you find out whether people will accept you once they find out who your sharing your kisses with. Not a predictable choice, ill grant but one of those which makes sense to you and to him.
Over the course of the next year you get closer and closer. Sharing intimate moments, private moments. Memories that will stay with you forever. You cannot forsee it being any other way.
Then he texts you and tells you he doesn't love you any more. That these moments mean nothing to him any more. Theres no intimacy, no friendship. No chemistry. This shakes your world. All of these moments you've stored with you are just gone. Numbness takes over and you go on auto pilot. Trying to make sense of whats been happening. It all falls apart. There's no one there to help pick up the pieces. Youre fucked. And all because of a kiss, exactly a year ago today.
Happy Anniversary Ben.
