About 2 months ago I went thought a horrible break up. All my friends ask me why i stay strong. I tell them when you find true love, it lives on. This relationship wasn't a typical one. The man was a bit older Uuand I am young. My parent knew about him and I think I might have over exaggerated the light that was brought into my fragile heart . Me and him used to fight a lot . I was always getting sick. I know each and every second I spent with him was unique. I'd like to thank him for everything and breaking the relationship the way he did . It was only for the best. Mother told me is a good man and I agreed. I hope that the man that made me feel so great inside and all the wonderful things that await me in my future will be worth every breath. It's a true story. I would be the happiest if this man finds his soulmate. He is truly amazing and I know I was just one of those guys. I have someone now and he is as young as me. I'd like to dedicate Born To Die by Lana Del Rey. It's basically my relationship with him. I honor it and will always.
