Today Has Finally Come

         Today has finally come. The love of my life will get on a plane heading to Cordoba, Spain for ninety-five days and I am left in San Jose heart broken and lonely. We were best friends for four years until one night we realized our feelings for each other and began the most fulfilling and healthy relationship of our lives, thus far. Long distance relationships are difficult but we persevered, California and Massachusetts are only 3,000 miles away after all. We worked diligently to keep our love alive, frequent phone calls, last minute trips to Boston, weekly letters and countless text messages. We trusted one another with our whole hearts and the moments we spent together were incredibly intense and special. We just celebrated our second anniversary in Pismo Beach at our favorite Inn, leaving my heart warm and filled with hope. 
          Two weeks ago the person who I believed loved me unconditionally ended our relationship and broke my heart. There was not enough explanation to soothe my worrying, yet just enough to keep me up at night. The idea of just being friends with someone whom I imagined marrying, turns my stomach but I have no other choice. Perhaps in ninety-five days our love will make sense again and in fifty years we will laugh about this while sitting on our front porch. Until then, I will continue taking deep breathes and nurse this huge hole in my heart. Today has finally come, and the love of my life could not feel further away.
