The beginning of a love story

Since that day you and I were inseparable, you were the salt to my pepper, the barbecue sauce to my chips (I for some reason don't like ketchup with chips but like it with other foods), you were the yin to my yang. You were my other half.

We had the cutest nicknames for each other as well, you called me babe and other cute things but I on the other hand always just insulted you I frequently called you 'idiot' and 'stupid' which to me were loving names, we would go on dates to so many different places, we also finished college together, then moved in together. That was when things changed, you changed...

"I don't understand why you're being like this, what have I done wrong? Just talk to me. Please don't do this to me again." I pleaded after you, but it was all in vain. You just walked out the door without a word. This was how we started our mornings. Every. Single. Day.

You became distant it felt as though you couldn't even stand me anymore, you couldn't stand my touch as well you would recoil away as though you had been burnt... I felt like- like I was invisible and didn't exist to you anymore... All my fears had come true.

But I still loved you and I wanted to fight for us, I would try desperately to try to get you to spend more time with me, but it was all in vain, you didn't even reciprocate it back, you would stay out all night and when you did come back the next day I could've sworn you smelt of booze and perfume as well, but I'm sure it was my mind playing tricks on me.

Eventually, I was done, at first, I didn't want to give up on us but I realised that I didn't deserve this kind of treatment. I deserved better, I knew that I had to leave I was planning on leaving without saying a word and leaving a note instead.

But you came home early for once and you looked shocked at the sight of me with my suitcase you asked what I was doing and I told you that I was done with you and to have a good life. You begged me to stay. I wasn't having any of it and that was when it happened...You got down on one knee and proposed...

I was taken aback as I wasn't expecting this but this is what I always dreamed of, for you and me to get married, go on a romantic honeymoon, to have children and to grow old together, so naturally, I said yes, I guess I forgot about everything that had just happened. I guess the heart wants what the heart wants.
