One only knows It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know. We all know people who are so much afraid of pain that they shut themselves out from us. A true love can see through your 'mask' and see how hurt you are... ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 2016 ©

" You're eyes are so tired Aug.." I say while looking up at his face, his beautiful exhausted face. He's going through so much in such little time. Sometimes i feel like i'm losing him.. Most times i think it's consumed him. But my baby's a fighter, he always has been. "They always give me away, huh?" his husky voice whispered as he slightly chuckled. I smiled at the sound, he's always trying to bring the light to the dark, and that's what i love the most about him.. he's the light in everything. "C'mon baybeh, don't do that.. I'm okay pooh." he slightly lifted my head so that i could look into his eyes again, i didn't notice the tears that started to well up in mine, but they were there. He didn't deserve this. He has so much to live for. "I just ... I love you August. You d-don't Deser-" "Whatever God has in store for me is what i deserve. I love you too, Kaiana. But i'm not going to let you stress over me. I'm fine, I'm here, I'm still breathing. And Despite what my eyes are telling you, i feel alive and well enough to stand. Hell, i'll hit a back flip right now if that'll stop you from crying. Be happy Kai, just be cool."
