The Best and Worst of Love
Their relationship brought out the best and worst in both of them.
They both have very special places in each other’s hearts and have unconditional love for eachother even though they might not know it.
Their love sometimes hurt each other, sometimes it flattered them in a way that was indescribable.
They will always have a special bond
They never see each other anymore and talk rarely, but they both have that same connection that they have always had.
Now their relationship was similar to a one way mirror: where you keep looking at someone, but they can not see you back.
They did not know what both of them were going through
The girl thought that he barely knew she existed anymore.
The boy believed he was a rare thought in her mind,
But it turns out they were common thoughts in each other’s everyday.
The memories.
Oh the memories they shared.
The classes, the long conversations, the endless fantasies.
But all those memories seem a lifetime away now.
Almost like they never happened.
All the unforgettable memories slowly slipping through their fingers, like sand falling through the cracks of one’s hands
But the worst memories still cause a sting in their hearts.
All the crying and the fighting still made the boy and the girl remember that they cared.
The girl’s late nights consisted of her lying on her soaking wet pillow and the boy’s consisted of punching the pillow until his hands hurt.
Millions of thoughts sprinting through each of their minds.
The one thing still holding them together, their love for one another.
Still dreaming of their future together, even though they knew they were going to be 2,441 miles apart in just a few months.
They were in denial.
“We will be fine. We will make it work,” they both tried to admit to themselves.
But they knew they were both wrong.
The boy going to UCLA in the fall, while the girl will pursue her dreams of going to NYU.
All summer they tried to create even more sensational memories for them to hold onto, but once the fall approached it just ended up not being enough.
Having so much to talk about, but having no time to see each other during the school year broke them.
They both knew what they had was special, but once it was ripped out from beneath them, that is when they knew what they had, was irreplaceable.
But it could never work when they were on different coasts.
Their relationship was like a ticking time bomb, dreading of the day that everything blows up into a million pieces.
Tick, tock, tick tock.
Time does not stop for love.
Their relationship was full of ups and downs, good times and bad times.
But the end of the relationship was bad, really bad.
It brought out the worst sides in both of them.
Sides that they never thought they would see before,
Words that they never thought they would hear before.
The conversation was full of “you did this”, “you did that”, “but you said this”, and “no I never said that”.
They had a constant exchange of childish finger pointing, as if it would solve anything.
For it only tore them apart more.
The fighting was never ending.
Their conversation was like a pendulum, going back and forth back and forth.
Their love for each other resulted in their worst and best sides to come out.
That is what love does.
Love rips people apart and has the ability to piece people back together again.
It brings out the worst and best in a person.
The relationship was the best thing that ever happened to the boy and the girl
But the breakup was the worst thing that ever happened to them.
The distance ruined them.
Being more than five million steps away from each other destroyed them, destroyed their relationship.
The boy and the girl would not of been the same without one another.
They shaped who each other were.
They made each other the happiest and they made each other the saddest.
The boy and the girl brought out the best and worst moments in one another
Because they loved each other.
