Prologue

***

Life is tricky, it does things that make you wonder. It always throws curve balls but it takes strength and love to be able to get through the disasters. Sometimes it’s hard to feel love, but it’s always there. The love of a people is there but the darkness has a way of hiding these feelings that people yearn for. Darkness! What a scary word that carries such evilness and fear. It takes a strong person to overcome darkness who is able to see past it and reach for the light.

Walking away from my light is the one decision I regret the most. I didn’t want to walk away but leaving him behind was the best thing to do. It’s been over four years and I still think about him all the time. Like I said, life is tricky. I can see my light every week but I can’t bring myself to say anything. I feel nothing but shame and embarrassment. I can’t talk to him and tell him how sorry I am. He looks happy and I don’t want to ruin it. Plus it’s probably too late. I don’t want to mess up his life like I did before.
