All Your Firsts Without Me

by L.M. Terry

He was the glue that held all my broken bits together. And each time a piece of me started to fall off, he glued it back together with his warm hands and calm voice. Now, I have nothing. Just things. I need him. I need him. I need him.

“He was my protector. He always did what he thought was best for me. Even if I don’t understand this right now, I’m sure he had his reasons. You are not to blame. I should have expected it.”

Today I’m saved yet again. By another man. Not better, not lesser, but equally as good.

He lets me cry. He lets me cry. He lets me cry.

I am the preface. The beginning of a beautiful love story, but unfortunately my chapters are short and limited. But her love story is far from over, I know this, I feel it deep inside my heart.

“But I come with a whole slew of issues that he doesn’t know about.” “And I’m sure he does too. That’s part of any relationship. Romantic or otherwise. It’s a journey of discovery.”
