I hadn’t lied when I said I’d be somewhere still loving him in the next lifetime. I hadn’t lied the first time I’d said it either. I would always want him, and I now knew that no matter how much I prepared myself for him, no matter how much hindsight I now had, and no matter how much more my own life had to offer me, Franky still had the power to break me because there was no protecting oneself from the type of love we shared. You went all in, guards down, hearts exposed for the taking.
