Don’t Give Up on Love

My senior year of high school was already tough enough. I was applying to colleges and getting prepared for my next step in life.

I had told my boyfriend of two years that moving away was a possiblility. Let's just say he was not thrilled about it. After I told him the news we began to have problems in our relationship. He started off by being jealous and over protective. We were fighting everyday and things were getting worse. He finally told me he didn't know if he loved me anymore, and all I could think was ‘what did I do to deserve this?’ Things were going so good and it was as if everything was falling into place. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. How could he leave me in my time of need?

After the breakup I was devastated. I could not eat or sleep and all I could do was look at the phone and hope for a phone call from him. He had already found a new girlfriend in a couple of days, and I was sitting at home waiting for him. I really wanted to give up, but I new that he loved me and I loved him. I had not seen him in 3 weeks because after the breakup he quit coming to school.

I went to get my hair done out at his mom's hair salon and he was there. He spoke to me and I turned my head because I was too hurt. He left and called me when he got home wondering why I didn't speak to him. I simply told him I did not approve of his new lifestyle. He came back out there and we talked for two hours. I knew then that he still loved me. He had not been coming to school because he could not stand to face me. He really did miss me, but was desperately hurt by the thought of me leaving.

We worked things out and are still together today. I just want everyone to know not to ever give up on someone you love or want to be with. Things will always work out for the best and God will always take care of you.
