You both made my heart race

You both rescued me from the villians, monsters, and fire dragons

You were both took my breath away

When I saw you I couldn’t help but smile

You both could turn my cloudy days into Sunshine and rainbows

You both made me laugh

I had a great time with you both

I felt safe with each of you

I could trust you both

The spark between us was strong

But there was a surge of electricity between he and I that was fatal

I would have been happy with him, but with you I was dangerously free

He supported and encouraged me just like you did

He knew what he wanted and where he was going

He wanted me but he knew I could never give him all of me

He knew my tormentors would always win

He knew their lies were stronger than the truth

Like you he saw things in me I couldn’t see

Even though I knew you would break my heart

In the end I still chose you

By doing so ……

I ventured onto temptations deadly thin ice

I wandered too close to the edge of the deadly cliff of lies

I carelessly walked the tightrope of destruction without a net

I was too busy with my head in the clouds I couldn’t see the darkness creeping up behind me

He would have distracted me from the alluring temptation of the thin ice

He would have lovingly walked between me and the edge of the cliff keeping me at a safe distance so I would slip and fall into the fatal pit of lies at the bottom

He would have covinced me the tightrope of destruction was much too dangerous and nothing but an optical illusion

He would have kept me safely on the ground instead of up in the clouds blinded by the sun

Not only would he have warned me of the darkness approaching but he would have had my back, giving me everything I needed to weather the storm

Then he would have lovingly mended my wounds and fed me with encouragement and support until I was strong enough to stand again

I say I have no regrets, but in writing these thoughts I realize maybe I do

If I had it to do all over again?

I would chose him

Why?

Because he would have been

My best friend

My provider

My forever love

My protector

He would have fought for us

He would of had my back

He would have loved me through the darkness that creeps in and steals my peace

But mostly, because…

He would have stayed

Not because he had to…

But because he wanted to
