As my closest friends and family are already aware, I’ve been doing some serious contemplation about my relationship as of recent. Doubts have been clouding my mind. Can you really love only one person?  Can I be sure he’s the one? Do I even know what true love is? Along with my questioning, I’ve felt temptation all around me. I let my doubts suffocate my love for him. I finally mustered up the guts to end it. I finally looked past the fact that we’ve been together nearly five years. ”This is it.”, I thought. He got into my car. We talked. He cried. I cried. His freckle speckled ivory skin glistened underneath his tears. My heart broke. He pleaded, and I dismissed him. We continued driving. His blue eyes stared into my average brown pair. He told me I was the love of his life, his angel. His world fell as he spoke about how he thought we would wed. He told me to take him home. I realized then, what I knew all along, but my doubts temporarily overshadowed…I love him. He is my solace, my best friend, his arms are my home. Doubts in a long term relationship, especially your first, are normal, but you cant let them consume you. I know our love is genuine, and can last for the long haul. He said he was saving for a ring. I told him, “You can’t afford me.” We laughed. I love him.
