James' POV
Tiredness. Pain. Hot. Sweating. Flushed. Are only a few words I feel doing this. We work from when the dawn is about to bloom to when the sun is about to disappear into nothingness but darkness that over comes you.

Doing my job of picking and bucking barley every day is tiresome. Your back kills you and drowns you in pain every day. It is almost just to much to bare. My friends Eldon and West luckily work with me on this job but still it is hard. "James", a call some out from Eldon, that snaps me back to reality. "Sorry what?, I zoned out".

"Clearly" states West rolling his eyes. I pull a face at him. Ok really me, West and Eldon get on really well. I have lived on this ranch for 3 years now. I met West first when I first arrived at the bunk house and then he introduced me to his friend Eldon.

Could never leave you all alone
I won't stand
I won't stand
So we were always good, we were always good
I know we were young, I know we were young
But how we let our love, how we let our love loose

As I come up from bucking a piece of barely. I straighten out my back and look at the sunshine beaming on my face. The wind flows in my face making my thick brown hair blow in the wind. My hair flows like a bird. I stare into the distance listening to the sounds of work life. The sounds of chat ring through my ears.

Chimes.

Horses trotting.

Carts being pulled.

The smell of hay tickles my nose in such a delicate ways. If only life could be easier than this. If only I was birthed and given to a different family, my life would be really different. I'm not saying I would change it. I wouldn't change it for the world but I do wonder what would it be like?

Cause there's a reason we belong
Like it was reaching out
And destiny was calling
But there's no sympathy when you're wrong
I've gone and figured out
I've figured out the hard way
Oooo la la la la la la la la la yeah yeah

What would happen if I found a lover? I thought I did when I was a teenager. This was before my life turned upside down.
Her name is Riley. We are really good friends. I did have feelings for her, I still do. However, when the disaster of my life occurred. I had to move away, and understandably we lost contact.

If memories are made to last
You tear them down, yeah you tear them down

If prophercies mistakes in past
Our sacred ground, our sacred ground

Cause we were always good, we were always good
And I know we were young, I know we were young
But how we let our love, how we let our love loose

I wish I could talk to her again. I always wonder, what if nothing happened and I told her my feelings? Was she felt the same what we have gone on a date? I guess I never find out.

I ponder while bucking my barley. What would of happened and what with this thing you call love be like? Would it be a dreaming full  life? Or would it be a synfuel life, where it would be close to a nightmare, close to this life I have now.

I don't know.

Only my imagination would tell. I remember how she was as a person, what she looked like. I have one picture of me and her but that is it. She had brown flowing hair, gorgeous brown eyes that always pulled you in, if you ever dared to look at them. Her nose was like a button it was so dainty and slim. Her lips were so fragile. They were a light strawberry pink. She was an angel in my eyes.

Cause there's a reason we belong
It was reaching out
And destiny was calling
But there's no sympathy when you're wrong

I do miss her, not having her around me. We were never in an relationship but to me it felt like it. Just how close we were. People would always ship us together. Maybe they new something that we didn't. They even had a name for us 'Jiley'. It was funny. Me and Riley would just laugh it off together. Deep down I feel she may have liked me but I ain't sure but we drifted apart due to my own family problems which hurts like hell, I can tell you that. I figured out who my family really were in a bad way.

I've gone and figured out
I've figured out the hard way

Anyway I guess I got to continue bucking this god damn barley, this is my life. I guess I truly. Figured out the hard way.

You pull the leash and let it go
At your command

I know, I know it is really short but yea that's that.
