Prologue

Loving you didn't splinter my heart; the pains were simple growing pains. Loving you helped me discover parts of myself I didn't even know existed. You were pieces to my puzzle, each adding a bit more clarity to the picture of who I am. And through the process of putting the puzzle pieces together, I learned that the final piece to the puzzle won't be added by a man. THE LAST PIECE WILL BE ONE FOUND IN MYSELF.
