This is Gonna Hurt

I know it hard to watch me slip through your fingers as you straighten your stance and take your orders. Stuck on the other side of the glass you press your hand to stop me from quitting. Just close enough to feel my knees buckle you'd hold my hand and stand me up if I needed though I refuse you. Unable to stop the progression you frown at my hurt. Whispering my apologizes I hold still trying to stay in focus.

'Its okay...'
'I'm okay...'
'Things will get better...'

There were years I loved you. Before I knew you, you completed me. Wished for and if you were my only answered prayer I'd never ask God for another thing.

But this is gonna hurt.

There will come a time where there will be nothing left but memories and tight hugs. Uniforms and pride.
Smiles and liquored moments.
Tagged photos and fading smiles.

"There will be tears. I've no doubt..." (-Mr.Hudson)

Just know there will be not one moment that I didn't love.
Not one that I didn't relive or indulge,
They're the times I fight the hardest for and always will.

Please don't blink.
I want to be here when you open your eyes.

Though I can't make any promises.

Hi Solidad, this is actually JohnnyB. If you read my profile, you'll understand why I'm "incognito". I haven't been around for some time now (other than to drop in to read a bit), because I just didn't like the feel of this site. I'm glad to find you're still here, though, and writing. Some of the other people I had contact with are not, unfortunately. I love your writing!

This one has the feel of a person who has lost her "love" to jail or prison. I especially love the line "Before I knew you, you completed me". Just awesome! I love the style and message in this.

I sent you a friend invite. I'd like to chat with you in PM, if possible. I've moved myself to greener (or bluer) pastures, so to speak. Take care and keep 'em coming!
