My Everything

I had been all alone for years, Since I had graduated from high school, and hadn't had anyone to provide any guidance or moral support since my early teens. I was used to the pain and loneliness always being there, although it never lessened. I guess I just had learned to live with it. The holidays were always awful, and it was too hard to spend them with friends and watch them with their families, because it only reminded me of how I didn't have the one thing I wanted most in my life. I was grateful for being able to know what to expect and for not having anything left to loose, because I had already lost it all. I was used to things being that way, and I had learned not to expect much or get my hopes up very much over anything, just for my own protection and self preservation. Then one unexpected day, he swaggered into my life and changed it all forever.
