For you, I will always wait.

My First Love Left A Mark

"To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heavens." Ecclesiastes 3:1

They say your first love never really goes away, and I didn't believe it until I experienced it for myself. I also didn't believe in love at first sight until it happened to me. I saw you and I knew I would love you for the rest of my life, long after I lost you. A tiny little spark that formed alongside a friendship, turned into a flame that I know I won't be able to blow out.

When you left, you took a piece of me with you. Despite that, your place in my heart still remains. I gave you my heart all those years ago, and you still have it in your pocket. I'll never ask for it back. There are some things you never really get over, and this is one.

The heartbreak was real and the pain was raw. When you said goodbye, I lost myself. My life tumbled out of control and I landed in a dark black tunnel. I've only recently found the light at the end of that tunnel, and crawled my way out. But, here I am still waiting.

I never had a choice in loving you, it was effortless.

For a long time, I was angry and bitter. Just the thought of you, or the mention of your name was enough to put a rain cloud over my head and ruin a perfectly good day. Through all of it, I never stopped loving you. I still haven't. I don't think I could even if I wanted to.

Some may some that I'm crazy for not giving up hope, and maybe I am. Maybe I'm crazy for waiting on the guy that broke my heart, not only once but twice. But if that's the case, then call me crazy. You were such a huge part of my past, and I pray everyday that maybe someday you'll become a part of my future as well.

"You were a beautiful time in my life, and if that's all you'll ever be then that's okay. Not all art is meant to be hung on the same wall forever." - K. Towne Jr

For you, I will always wait.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
