Olivia's pov

I read something by J. R. Rogue, which says, "as children, we were fascinated by magic, as adults, we fear love, at what point did we forget they are the same thing?"

I think the second type of pain that I have experienced (the first being from home), was with Colin.

You know what they say about first-timers, it was hard to forget about him. It was like, he was stuck in my head and mind.

I thought of him all day, I waited for him to call and apologize and tell me that he was sorry but he never did. I had to learn to let it go all on my own.

It taught me something vital that would help me throughout my other relationships.

365 fucking days and counting. That is how long it takes to fail to remember a moment of touch. So before contacting anything or being contacted.

Recall these words, since it will not be sheep that you will count around evening time, however, days until you are valiant enough again for a touch.

I never gained anything from the relationship I was in
