They say if you love something, let it go. And if it doesn't come back, it was never yours in the first place.

It's easy to like something, but is it that easy to love something?

A thousands thoughts raced through my mind as he stared into my eyes. I stared back with the same intensity while he slowly and gently cupped my cheek with his hand.
