“A College Romance…
I had fantasized about the possibilities of college life for years, and while certain aspects evolved, there was an enduring constant. No matter how wildly I allowed my imagination to roam, it unfailingly guided me to a singular destination.
It led me to him.
My future seemed crystal clear, and he was at its center.
Then, abruptly, he was no longer there.
Now I’m a mere shadow of my former self, traversing a path too obscure to discern, with no discernible way forward, no upward trajectory.
They say first loves endure eternally.
That’s precisely what terrifies me.”
