Aftermath

I almost lost him. I'm so scared to be without him...

Shaking. Left without breath. Guilt washing over me. The fear, it's too much. 

It's welling up in my chest. I'm crying because it hurts so much.

What have I done, why did I say that? I couldn't possibly 

have spoken a worse combination of words.

It was late, I was unrested, but that's no excuse. I should have 

enough common sense to keep my mouth shut. 

I mean, who the hell says that?? I can't believe how stupid I've been. 

And you've been patient, you've given me time and so many chances. 

I just need you to know that I'm sorry, I'll watch what I say and do. 

You make me a better person every time we talk. 

Because of you I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't hurt 

myself because you make the sorrow disappear. 

I need you in my life. I want to be the best person I can be. 

You inspire me. 

You love me, like nobody else can. Not even my own family. 

Please, never let go of me. 

I love you Lesha. I hope you never forget.

This is a great poem, and I can tell that you wrote this in the heat of your emotions, which isn't technically a bad thing(: keep writing.
