I received a call early this morning from someone from my past. It had been almost a month since I last heard from him. He felt betrayed as he worded it because I had started to date someone else. I was at a loss for words; I was merely trying to get on with my life. Although mi corazón may always have feelings for him, I knew within me that I could not keep waiting until he decided enough was enough in his unhappy marriage.

Enough was enough for me.

It was time for me to finally make my heart whole. I may never fall in love again, but I owe it to my heart to have the opportunity.

I refuse to be anyone’s seconds.

I am worth being someone’s first, being their first text message, their last phone call of the night. I am worth having their unconditional love…
