For the Man Who Was too Young to Realize that the Love of His Life Was Right in Front of Him

You don't get it do you? That girl is in love with you. She's the kind of girl you want and need by your side through everything. The kind of girl who loves you despite everything and anything. She's the girl who will love you when you are at your lowest and have nothing and she'll be there when you're at your highest and have everything. She's the girl that will be there for you for everything. The girl who looks at you and smiles because she sees her whole world in front of her. The girl who wants nothing and no one but you. The girl your parents loved. The girl who is loyal and defends you from everyone who says she deserves better. She would do anything for you. The girl you can pull closer in the middle of the night. The girl you could wake up beside every morning and know that you are loved so greatly. She gave you that once in a lifetime kind of love. You were so in love with her. She was everything to you.

Why'd you throw her away? So you could screw around? Well, letting her go was the biggest mistake of your life and it might not feel like it now but I promise it will hit you. You may think that it will never get to you. You may think that you won't ever miss her. But you definitely will. You'll go through the rebound girl or girls. You'll go through the stage of just wanting freedom and no commitment. You'll go through the stage of thinking you'll never want her back. But deep inside you know the truth. You fell for her fairly quickly. Was it her smile? Or the way she looked at you? Or her laugh? Maybe it was the way she made you feel when you'd look at her, or when you'd hold her hand. Or when she'd hold you and you felt at home and safe. Or maybe it was all of that and more. And you know you made a mistake but you don't want to admit it to yourself yet or show weakness so you fool around and find temporary girls to fill the emptiness in your heart from where she used to be. But one night, when the stars and the moon light up the sky and everything is quiet and still, your mind will wander. And it will go right to her, and you will realize that those temporary girls mean nothing. That you want more than just a one night stand. You want someone who loves you the way she did. Someone who holds you the way she did. Someone who gives you the same feelings she did.

But you don't want just anyone. Because no one else in this world will love you the way she did. And it'll hit you like a truck going full speed. You love her. She is the love of your life and you need her. And you weren't strong enough to admit that to yourself. And you are damn lucky if she is still there waiting for you when you finally realize all that she is worth. But you better do it fast before a man comes in and knows exactly what she's worth and what she deserves. And she deserved better than you. Now, she doesn't hate you. She could never hate you. In fact, she prays for you every night, wishing you a happy life and a bright future. But she just wants you to realize your mistake, to make sure she is part of your future. If she sticks around long enough to give you more than one chance to change and realize what you've done, that's more than love. And you need to keep that girl and never let her go.

Moral of the story: Guys DO NOT throw away a girl who is completely in love with you and is willing to do anything for you just because you want to hoe around. Because one day you're going to completely regret it.
