Take You to Haven

I had already given up on the idea that I’d be someone’s first. Someone’s first love. Someone’s first kiss. Since I was young, I had always wanted this, but it was never meant to be. To be loved, to be cared for, but my fate was to always be the second woman.

Maybe I should change my mindset. If I couldn’t be someone’s first, let me be the last person in their life. Let me be the last woman who they would ever kiss. Let me be the last woman who they would ever love, because that way, they would always belong to me.

Was I selfish in thinking this way? I just wanted someone to love, someone to care for, someone to share my thoughts and feelings with, a companion, a person who loved me for me and not for my beauty. And maybe, just maybe, I could be this woman to Lorenzo. I could be the last woman whom he loved. I could be the last woman whom he would care for.

Lorenzo had already given his first love to his childhood friend. Even though he refrained from saying those words, I already knew inside my heart that he meant that. And as it should be because I also had my first love. The boy inside my dream. I had been dreaming of him since I was a young girl who could remember those dreams.

It was love. My heart thumped wildly when I saw him.

But my first love dissipated faster than steam, because I could never receive his love, as he had already given his love to someone else. His love was given to my sister, Jenny. Although he had never said it, I saw their interaction, with the way he looked at her, with adoration and admiration. Jenny was blessed to receive such a wonderful love from that boy. Although she was too young to understand it, but I knew deep inside, she also felt a strong connection with him.

And it would have to be a strong connection between the two because how else could he have given her the twin dragon necklace that he had cherished so much, the necklace which I had kept to this day.

How I wished I could go back in time and say sorry to him, for hurting him, for hurting Jenny, for destroying their beautiful relationship together.

I had learned my lesson now. And I would succumb to my fate of being the second woman. And
