By Kassie,

How can something so great be considered wrong by so many? I don’t get it. I am a good person. I do most of the right things. All I wanted to do is fall in love, get married, and make my parents proud. Instead I fell in love with my best friend; my best friend that because she is the same sex as me, I cannot be with. We didn’t even mean to fall in love. It just happened. We make each other so happy and we could not help but cross that line. How can two good people who fall in love be wrong? Why would God, who is the creator of love after all, let this happen to me? Why would He consider this wrong? I don’t even know if I believe it is wrong myself. I was told in church it was wrong. I was told by my parents that it was wrong. But anyone who has ever experienced this kind of love would have a hard time believing that it wasn’t right. We were together for a year and half. Then I had to move away for school and we were going to be separated. Telling our parents that we were together was never an option. Our families are too important to us. We decided to make the sacrifice of our love in order to save our families. What better time to grow apart than when we would actually be apart? But we aren’t growing apart. I miss her every day. She misses me. I want to get back together. In a perfect world, we would be together. Our families would support us. The world will not accept us. Our parents and families will not accept us. So sacrifice we must. As much as I would like to be with her, I know it is best that we are not. We are having a hard time breaking up because neither of us really want to let go. It's a matter of having to. Because we obviously cannot do it on our own, I have asked God to help us through this. We both deserve to be happy.
