This Life and All the Rest

She thinks our story is over.

It's just beginning.

Lennon Washington has been the star of every dream, every nightmare, since the day I lost her.

Since the moment I let my demons win, and she slipped through my fingers.

Her memory has haunted me.

Changed me.

Broken me and remade me.

And I'd all but given up on us.

Now tragedy has brought her back into my life.

My secrets are at her disposal,

Hers are unraveling quickly,

And every emotion we've tried to deny is returning with a vengeance.

But we're not kids anymore.

We have changed drastically.

And with each new ache, I start to wonder,

Is there a place for us in this life,

Or will we have to try again in the next one?
