I did not know that love could take something from you and still walk away. When I met him, I was careful, not because I was strong, but because I was untouched by the world. I carried my heart the way people carry glass — gently, nervously, believing that if I held it right, it would not break. I thought that being someone’s first meant something. I thought that if I gave myself honestly, I would be met with honesty. I was wrong. I gave him more than my body. I gave him my inexperience, my trust, the small hopeful future I had quietly built around his name. To him, it was just a moment. To me, it was a promise. And when he broke that promise, he did not just leave — he replaced me. There is a special kind of silence that comes after you realize the person you loved was loving someone else at the same time. It is not loud. It is hollow. It sounds like your own heartbeat suddenly echoing in an empty room. That was the moment my life began to feel like it had failed — not because I was unlovable, but because I had loved with everything I was.
