Chapter Text
"There is a distinct, awful, pain that come with loving someone more than they love you."
<><><><><><><><><><><><><>
There is always going to be love in this mysterious world we happen to live in. Whether it's family love; the kind of love that you fight for, you sacrafice for. Or whether it's the love for a friend; the kind you try for, you get through things for. Then there's the love you feel for your significant other; the kind of love that burns within you with a passion so vibrant it makes you question how it's even possible, but most importantly it makes you vulnerable. And that's the scariest part.
Love isn't as easily found as it once was years ago. There are more often one night stands, or summer flings, but never really true love. True love is when you'd do anything for one another, no matter the cost, even if it's lying. True love is not loyalty or honesty like it's said to be. You can be completely in love with someone, even if they've broken your heart for what seems like a million times. True love is being hurt, but fighting for what you have anyway, because what you have is that special. That person means the world to you, and you don't want to let them go, so you fight for them.
Don't think that there won't be tears because, trust me there will be. There will be tears along with sadness, anger, and helplessness, but don't believe that true love is all pain because the truly amazing parts are what keep you going. The happy moments, the laughter, the compassion, and the overwhelming love you see when you look into the eyes of the person you love the most.
That is why I kept fighting. I fought for love and that was the best thing that's ever happened to me. There were times when I thought it was the worst decision of my life, but in the end I wouldn't trade him for the world.
My name is Castiel Shurley and this is the story of how I fell in love, how my heart was broken repeatedly, and how it was rebuilt, all three done with a pair of emerald green eyes and freckled skin.
