The Fool

My god, I was such a fool then. She was my first love and I didn't really know how things should go down; it took me such a long time to see that our love isn't mutual, and once I understood that I realized just how blind I actually was. The mist was gone, and the truth was clear: the rumors started flowing in and my gut knew that everything I've heard is kinda true.

What pained me the most wasn't that she cheated me with one of my close friends, or that our relationship was built on so many lies, it pained me that I couldn't break free; I was fighting this inner battle, where one side was fool in love ready to forgive and forget, and the other side was bent on leaving forever and never speak another word with her.

It was agonizing. I couldn't sleep, or eat, of to focus on anything. I thought it was the end for me, that the madness will eat me alive..

Ten years are gone. Now, I chuckle every time I remember the pain. I chuckle every time I see my Wife, every time I wake up next to her, every time I play with our kids. With her, everything is so easy and natural, even the occasional fights.

Don't want to sound cheesy, but with her, every day is a day in Heaven.
