I Fell in Love with a Catholic Man

“Some people say ‘I love you.’ Martin Edwards says your name during prayer.”

Martin Edwards is the kind of man people write prayers about. Kind. Patient. Gentle.

The type of boyfriend who remembers your exam schedule, walks you home at night, and makes everyone around him feel safe.

He laughs easily. Helps everyone. Believes in God. And somehow—

he falls in love with me.

At first, it seems simple. Two religious people. Two people trying their best. But love becomes complicated when both people refuse to stop believing.

And suddenly, the boy who always has answers sits beside me in silence, his fingers wrapped around the cross hanging from his neck, asking questions neither of us know how to answer.

Because perhaps the cruelest thing about falling in love with Martin Edwards isn’t that he loves God.

It’s that he taught me faith and love can coexist—

until one day they couldn’t.
