I was young, 19.
The guy, 11 years older, said he was single.
After 6 weeks his ex returned and demanded he choose between us.
He said he couldn't decide and wanted to drown himself.
I believed him and ended it to save him.
I was never able to fall for anyone again. The pain of possible loss would have been too great.
Years later, when I became friends with him and his wife, I discovered he wasn't the person I thought it was - on many levels.
From the combined experiences, I learned that romantic love, no matter how delicious, intense and overwhelming, is just not the real deal.
