You Only Fall Once

I

The worst part, the scariest moment wasn't when our love fell apart, it was everything leading up to it. The overwhelming feeling of suffocation and the blinding, pulsing fear of losing you.

Your love built me up so high and so strong that I could hope. Hope that I would never have to experience the scariest part of life. That's when the end started. Your every word tore my heart down a little more and every step away from me shattered my soul into smaller pieces. Because that's what you were, my heart, my soul, and everything holding me together.

That's when I knew that the scariest part of life isn't thinking that you're never going to fall in love it's that you'll find that consuming, intense, perfect love and have it rip you apart.
