Tombstone

My entire life, I’d never believed in second chances. They’re bullshit if you ask me. Then again, maybe I wrote them off as crap because I didn’t think I deserve one.

I lost my wife a long time ago. All in all, I failed her. She was mine to protect and I couldn’t even do that right.

Over time I got used to being on my own. Better yet, it was easier. I didn’t need anyone in my life. Hell, it was safer to be on my own. No one else would get hurt this way.

Then I saw her. Sure, I shrugged her off at first, but she didn’t give up on me. As much as I pushed her away, she kept finding ways to tell me I was worth of love. But as things heated up between us, danger came knocking on my door, and then I couldn’t find her.

I didn’t know where she was, but I need to get to her fast.
