How Quickly Things Change

'Dear *****,

Thought i'd write you a notes just to tell you that you're the best thing that ever happened to me and I love you with all my heart and soul.

Forever and always yours

Within my shoeboxes full of ideas and scribbles I found that written on the first page of a small blue notebook I'd forgotten all about. It can't have been more than 9 odd months ago now that it was written. Bloody hell. It shows me that nothing in life is permanent, but it also makes me decry the person who would say such things only for them to become redundant. After the events of last year, whenever I hear two people in the heartswept thralls of love, I can't help being a cynic. I never used to be like that. She turned me into that. Well, here's to first loves, everyone has to have one, everyone has to lose one. The ultimate innoculation for idealism.
