irrevocable

He was bold
She was hidden
Losing her again was not an option because
Loving her was irrevocable.

I hadn't seen Jackson since we were little kids. Even then I knew he was something special. He was the sun on my darkest days, the only ray of joy I hung onto.
But then he left.
And I was forgotten.
When he rode back into town I expected nothing. I trudged through my days the same as always.
But I was wrong because just like when we were kids, Jackson became the light in my life before I knew what was happening.
His smile. His laugh. The way he touched me. It was a dream.
It wouldn't take long for the darkness to return. And when it did, Jackson would be gone again. I expected it. Braced myself to lose him again.
Little did I know that needing him was irrevocable.
