Skylines

I never imagined my life to pan out the way that it has, that I would end up so far into my fears that it would stop me from living my life. I never expected to have my whole world stripped from me in one night, but I also never expected someone to be waiting on the other side. Someone to save me.
I was never whole before I met Ashley, I was never going to be. But there was always something about him that despite my everlasting longing to always be alone, I kept coming back. I kept coming up with excuses. For the first time in too long, he made me feel, even when I didn't want to. And the best part about it all, he never left.

I didn't expect when I moved to Evergreen to meet someone with the same look in their eyes that I held in my own for years. I didn't expect them to be living opposite me, or for them to consume my being like no one else could. I didn't expect to fall so deeply into her, and her life that it saved me from my own. I never imagined that I would be the one to save her, when she'll never understand that she did just that for me. But the best part about it all, no matter how she felt, no matter how hard it was and is to love, she never left.
