reconciliation

L and I reconciled, or, more specifically, I collected the pieces of myself and realized that cutting L out of my life would be one of the most regrettable things I could do and a choice that would surely haunt me many years later. I did, however, tell her that if I have another break we're finished; I can't put myself through that hell again and, more importantly, I'm not going to leave her heart in limbo.
Despite what has recently transpired she still wishes to be with me.
I asked her, "After all this, why do you still want to be with me?"
"Because I love you," she replied.
Her response reinforced my belief that I'll never meet another girl like her. And now I know what it feels to be truly loved.
Thanks for sticking by my side, Panda Bear.
