True love is a myth perpetuated in Hollywood.

And so it ends almos 8 years of love, laughter and fun.

You came into my life when I was at my lowest of lows and you showed me how to live but more importantly how to love again.

We had our challenges and that made us stronger.

Covid was a challenge I working in the Emergency Services and you not being allowed to go out because of lockdown. I was the news bearer on how the world outside was behaving and accepting the new (temporary) reality.

Us emigrating from South Africa to the UK with hotel quarantine. You and your girls and me leaving my kids behind with my ex.

Right now I’m broken. I know that I will heal and be able to move on with my life you will always have a piece of my heart and I hope that we wil get back together but I’m also a realist and I do realise that what drove us apart will always be there like an elephant in the room.

Researchers say that we fall in love twice in our life

Once is that butterfly feeling and then that I have found my happily ever after.

You were my happily ever after.

I’m hoping that this is a speed bump and we can overcome this.

I hope that we can be us again, being silly and laughing at each other.

Right now I’ll play the dice as they fall.
