In an effort to escape it all, I find myself pulled by an invisible string right back to the man I've never forgotten. A man that would spend every second reminding me of who I once was. I wanted to hide while I battled the demons of my past, but he will not see me cower. And just when I think there could be happiness out there for me, the spotlight sparks to life and threatens everything.
