Drabble Challenge #112

Prompt: hope
I held out as long as I could…

   And I believed too—I really BELIEVED, with all my heart and soul!
   I thought, somehow, my belief would make the difference.
   I told myself, if I loved him enough, if I was patient and steadfast and true, one day, he would feel the same about me.
   I convinced myself, if I just waited, he would be able to love me the way I so desperately need to be loved.
   I was CERTAIN he was "the One."

...But the years have passed, with no change, so I must put that hope away.
