It started as redemption.
To pull myself from the depths.
The dream I had for him,
Transferred onto a new charge.
In the beginning,
His willingness was my crutch.
Everything I asked he did.
I didn’t have to face my fear.
Behind his quiet nature, I hid.
My fear suppressed.
For I only ever needed,
To ask just enough.
As time passed
Memories held me back.
My mind conflicted.
Deep down I was still broken.
I almost gave up.
But his heart drew me back.
He wouldn’t let quit.
So I could not back down.
I made a plan.
It all started to align.
A lot to do,
And just enough time.
Yet, sometimes things aren’t meant to be.
Timing is not always kind.
Less painful than the year before
The disappointment still a sting to my heart.
The year was a journey
One of healing
One without regrets
Despite an ending not expected
I will never forget how he saved me.
But now we will go our separate ways.
He to bring out the best in someone new,
Myself to chase another dream.
