POISON AND WINE
..
..
It's funny how differently we view life when we're young.
Everything feels possible- limitless. If only things could stay that way forever.
Then maybe life wouldn't be so complicated. Maybe she would still be the same ten-year-old girl I fell in love with. Maybe I'd still be that same girl too.
The girl who believed that there wasn't anything we couldn't overcome.
But I'm not that girl anymore.
Time has beaten me down, broken me, taken everything from me. And it's taken even more from her.
I naively believed that I could save her.
And I nearly died trying.
It's taken me four years to rebuild my life.
To piece my shattered heart back together.
But it all goes up in flames the moment I find myself face to face with the one person I never thought I'd see again.
She's determined to prove she's changed.
I'm terrified to let her try.
Because no matter how sweet it tastes, with her, you never truly know if what you're drinking is poison or wine.
Until it's already too late.
