I don't sleep until my body gives me no choice. I go until the last drop of energy is zapped from my bones and my muscles are too weak to keep my eyes from closing. Only then am I able to achieve true peace: A slumber without dreams, without memories of my real life nightmare. I thought I was escaping my past, finally running toward the future I deserved. Until I met Ryan. One week with him had me questioning everything I was sure I wanted out of my life. Being with him means I can't leave my past behind. Being without him might just kill me anyway. One week destroyed everything. One Week shattered my dreams One week I lived in the sun But the darkness never truly fades.
