the imperfect couple
Posted anonymously on May 13, 2025A girl so clueless to where she is in her life, studying in year 12, no hobbies, no job, no best friend, 2 homes, and extremely emotional. She has nothing to lose, been to hell and back, with no one to let it out to.
A boy with his life planned out, studying In university, a passion for guitar, a well-paying job, connection of best friends, one humble home, avoidant to emotions. He comes home to a loving family, grown up comfortably, with endless support.
The way opposites attract.
The girl finds her best friend in the boy. The girl finds comfort in the boy. The girl finds her person.
The boy finds another best friend in the girl. The boy is happy with the girl. The boy finds his person.
They create endless memories with each other. They’re each others missing piece.
Until the girl becomes comfortable she lets out her emotions. The boy isn’t used to this. He gets over whelmed and turns his back on the girl. Not once, not twice, too many times to count.
The girl keeps running back to the boy questioning why he did what he did. He says sorry and says he will change
But the thing is. Nothing changes. The girl has had too many missing places in her heart she can’t let this one go.
She asks her father, “but what if I’ve made the wrong decision staying, what if it effects me in the future, hurts me more”
Her father says, “if that does happen, at least you can say you tried”
The girl held onto that tightly. It benefited her in the moments by making her feel like she was the good one by trying. But she felt as if the boy never tried. So she begged and she begged, but when he did what she asked, it was as if it was coming from the girl, rather than the boy.
Today, she girl still sees the boy at the start, the boy who filled the missing piece, she still stays for the boy even when he slips, and leaves her in tears.
It’s funny how opposites attract, it’s funny how the girl stayed, even though the boy constantly hurt her. She loves him. He loves her.
The girl has such loud inside voices it drives her insane. She knows what she deserves, she knows she should leave, she has tried, but she can’t let go. The boy was there right as the girls world fell apart. She lost something so unbelievably important to her, less than one month later, the boy came along and connected with her so deeply she adored him, and prized him.
