We had shared a common beginning. At fifteen years old we thought we knew what love was and ran with the feelings that were new to us. I had loved him, but it always seemed like we would be on different chapters in life. At that point, I doubted our lives would ever be parallel. It seemed like no benefit would come from going backward in time, and in all honesty, I was a little angry that it took him comparing me to several other failed relationships before realizing I was what he needed. Jason always knew right from the start that I was special.
