The Story of a Boy and a Girl... Part Two...

   The girl was so scared because she was not there with him, that she might lose him. She was afraid that he would meet someone better than her, someone who was just as kind, and sweet, and gentle, and caring, and understanding as he was. She tried so hard to be the best that she could be for him because she knew that if she lost him, the loss would break her. However, no matter how hard she tried to cling on to him, she felt that he was slipping away from her. After all, he did have his own life to lead, just as she had her own life to lead. 

   This caused her to be very insecure, and as a result, she was not nearly as kind, and sweet, and gentle, and caring, and understanding as she should have been. She was aware of how badly she was acting and tried to stop herself. But the more scared she became, the worse she behaved. And the worse she behaved, the more scared she was that she would lose him. It was a vicious, vicious cycle. 

   At the same time, everything else in her life was so unsure. She felt that she was losing control and that she could not cope with what was going on. She retreated into herself and spent many hours getting angry at herself and feeling helpless.  Meanwhile, the boy started his studies again. The girl pushed herself and got a new start on life. She made new friends, she went through a lot of new things and it was good. But always, always, always, the boy was in her thoughts. Not for a second did she ever forget him. They still laughed together, and loved together, and cried together. They both still held on to their promise. 

   While the girl was living her life in the far, far, far away place, the boy was also living his life. He also made a lot of new friends and was constantly busy with his studies and with his new friends. The girl was happy that the boy was enjoying his new life, but at the same time, she was also afraid that he would slip away from her. After all, she had been away for quite a long time now.
