Freedom
Her beautiful black eyes, jet-black hair and exquisite figure dazzled me when I met her at my best friend's house. Andrea was the younger sister of Charles, one of my closest friends.
My love for her grew slowly, but secretly, since Andrea had a boyfriend and they were about to get married, so I had not confessed my love. A month before the wedding, Andrea discovered that her boyfriend had been unfaithful and thus decided to end their relationship.
I took courage and confessed my feelings, she was a puddle of tears and eventually we started dating. One day Leo came back and I saw them conversing by chance in a square, she looked at him with love, a look she did not have for me and I realized how much she still loved him.
With my heart broken I told Andrea to give Leo a chance, that if she wanted him, she should go back with him and be happy, that I would let her out of her commitment.
Love is to let your partner be free, to respect the other's feelings and decisions, to be by their side along the way, to wish their happiness over yours.
