Mine for a Moment

by Catharina Maura

This one is for anyone who’s ever tried their best to be worthy of real love, only to be found lacking. You are enough. Sometimes, things simply aren’t meant for you—not because you don’t deserve them but because better things are on their way. You will never be the one for the wrong person, but you will be everything to the right person.

“Please,” I whisper, my heart aching. “Tell me why you’re crying, sweetheart. Tell me how to make this right.”

“You’ll find someone who will see your worth, Serenity. You’ll occupy his every thought, and you’ll be everything to him. The kind of love you’re after is out there, and you’ll find it—with the right person.”

“God, I love making your dreams come true,” he says, cupping my cheek. “There’s nothing better in life than being the reason behind your smile. Nothing at all.”
