Wonderful. I have a sister going through many of these same conflicts and half the battle is trying to figure out what I can do to help her and be there for her. I especially love the line "I asked God years ago to make my first boyfriend be my only boyfriend". If everyone made that same promise, how sacred love would be! But you have people facing the power of desire, wanting to be loved so desparately, that they use love as a crutch to get along on instead of really, truly love - a selfless love. Nice work. Keep writing, k.
