Pieces of Him

You want the truth? The truth is there’ll never be enough time in the world to figure out how to go back. I’ll never come up with a way to change the outcome. The truth is I don’t need to hear I have a son. I can’t deny it’s real because he’s the living, breathing proof my life is out of control. But the truth is I love him. The truth is it’s just him and me for the foreseeable future… Until I met a girl who crossed my heart and changed it all. Emelia was a bright star in my abandoned sky, and it would take a miracle to keep her there. I’ll fight for miracles, though, because losing them would mean losing pieces of me.**
