Beginnings are easy, but after that, happiness takes some work.

We had been younger. Yup, you can grow a lot in the blink of an eye.

And then Luke had appeared, like a gust that had come to teach me that in life, there was nothing more precious than life itself.

Somewhere in between, I had fallen for that boy.

At least, when there’s fear, there’s some human part left in you. Once that’s gone, though, there is nothing.

I forced my eyes open and saw the image that’s haunted me every day for the past years of my life. And every day, in my nightmares.

There is no in between, we all have to touch our own bottom.

Some might say it was lack of love –I would say it was out of love.

The end for us came with a knock on my window.

Maybe if I had gone on like that I could have stopped myself in time. Maybe at that point I still had it in me to come through.

Love, like addiction, removes all choices...

I opened the doors to Hell and walked in gleefully.

There was no sign he’d even been in a fight –Fucking Golden Boy.
