Not to decide is to decide. Everyday we make decisions that affect our lives. The willingness to fall in love is one of them. It was 2am when Amy was woken by the sound of her phone receiving a text . It was Matt the guy who finally had come to her that was not a jerk. Sure he had some tenancies of being a bit obnoxious at times but he was perfect in her eyes. Even though she was tired her face beamed with happiness at the sight of his name. He was everything she dreamed of. He was smart, athletic ,the sweetest , supportive beyond belief a tad on the short side but hot as hell and most importantly he made her laugh ; he made her feel safe.Just the way he would hug her and never want to let go . What could go wrong?Adjusting her eyes to brightness of the screen she read the very words that brought tears to her eyes "Guess what ? I wanted you to be the first to know I got in! I'm going to England for six months!"Amy at this time was a grade 12 student with a clear vision of what she wanted for her future and going to university in September was one of them. She replied " That's so awesome congratulations !When do you leave?" A month was the reply. She tried not to think about the fact that this could really be goodbye .England was really far away and she would most likely be gone to school by the time of his return .The rest of the night was blurred with tears as the pieces of her life felt like they were crumbling down. Over the next few weeks Amy and Matt acted as if their time had no limit.But Amy could sense some hesitancy in his actions,he was holding back .She feared making this work but she feared losing him even more.By the time the day arrived for Matt's departure She had made her decision .The choice to let him go.From that very moment Amy was trying to keep it together but she was falling apart up until the moment he drove away for what would be the last time. When it comes to life and love you have to decide whats worth the risk? And if falling in love is one worth taking?
