I’ve mentioned this before. There have been only 3 girls I’ve loved. I only officially dated only one but for all intents and purposes, another, before she left for California. They had similarities, especially in upbringing and although not readily apparent, emotional makeup and personality.  

Earlier this year, I told a friend that I’ve pretty much loved the same girl my entire life. I actually haven’t and didn’t think about the connections until recently. I did not compare one to another and saw each as a unique person, beautiful in their own way. Broken too. 

But you are the best of all of them. 

And you are unique and different than the pattern.
