“I love you.”
Three words strung together with hope, promise, and sincerity. A collection of words that would flow from your lips directly into my soul and soothe all of my fears and anxieties.
I didn’t just hear those words and recognize the meaning, I took them to heart. I believed it as a truth and let those words control my happiness.
We were the couple that everyone strived to be, the epitome of relationship goals, so in love and lucky to have each other, the couple everyone put bets on when we would get married and how many kids we would have.
We were the model for everyone who saw us, but that’s only because they never saw what was really going on between us behind the scenes, they only saw the outside.
