He was just a teenage kid.
She was his first girlfriend.
Initially, everything was more
than wonderful.
He’d found the love of his life.
He’d found a happiness
beyond what he thought possible.
He loved her so much he said
he’d die a hundred times for her.
He asked her to marry him
when they got older.
She happily agreed and gave
him a long, meaningful kiss.
A year later, his future wife
cheated on him, destroying
their true teenage love.
Unable to live without the
girl he pledged his forever
love to, whom he vowed to
marry, he put his father’s
pistol to his head and
pulled the trigger, dead forever,
on the night his ex-girlfriend had
changed her mind and decided
to call him the next day, unaware
that it was too late … too late,
his death, her fate.
