Only Gonna Break
Their friends had warned them it wouldn't work. She thought it was fun to watch the absolute control she had over guys, he just wanted to add another knotch to his bed post. They both lived to break heart's.
After the first date, they stood gazing into each other's eyes.
"I'm a waste of your time," he warned.
"I'm only going to break your heart," she said back.
"Should I pick you up tomorrow at six?"
She stopped seeing the extra guys she had on the side. Instead of holding the reigns in the relationship, she let him posses her every thought, every action. Suddenly, it wasn't all about her - it was about them. As a whole they were more important than her as an individual and she would do anything to keep him happy so that they could be happy.
He started looking forward to the day, not just the night. he found himself submersed in thoughts of her beautiful mind, not just her body. They had conversations that held real world meaning, not just foreplay. As long as she was smiling, he was. As long as they were together, he could forget the long list of his past partners and how little they meant to him except as a number.
They'd broken hearts and in the process broken pieces of their own, but together they were mending. After searching for so long, they'd finally found what they were longing for.
