I walked away from the one girl I've ever really loved. The most painful thing I've ever done. I've never been good enough for her, and keeping my distance is hard. But it has to be done. For her.

It's the only thing that keeps me going. When I come back a better man, healing from my own personal hell...the only question is...is she mine? Or is she his?
