Fourteen Years

They say you meet your soulmate by the time you're 21. I thought that was the biggest lie ever told. Love wasn't something I really believed in. All it did was break me and hurt me. Little did I know, you've been in front of me this whole time. Little did I know, I met my soulmate 14 years ago. We were kids when we met, dumb and naive. But we're grown up now. And I stand in front of you, my heart in my hands. I know you loved me once, but feelings fade. But it's you and it's me. Maybe we were always endgame. I never thought I'd fall in love with my best friend. But you're the only one who's always been there for me. You've always loved me, and I hope it's not too late to love you too. I hope another girl didn't snatch your heart. I hope we won't always be star-crossed lovers. I hope we can defy all odds. You have the power now. Keep my heart or let it go. But I know I will always love you.
