Lightning can strike the same place more than once. The first time, it robbed me of my high school sweetheart. Shattering our forever into a million pieces. I was just sixteen. Too young to understand the medical terms, that meant she was gone. Too naïve to see that forever was nothing but a lie. Now, years later, I met Ameline. I tried not to fall in love, but it was impossible. She gathered all my broken pieces and put me back together. I had promised myself never to love again. To avoid this agony. And I fell for the illusion of forever once more. At least until I lost her. Now I'm left questioning everything. What does forever mean when it's built on a foundation of pain and loss? How do you move on when lightning keeps targeting your heart? Why do people believe in forever when it’s just a lie?
