The Hand That Holds Mine by Jennifer Loren
I made a decision but it wasn’t one I could live with or die with so - I changed my mind. I have fallen in love, a love I cannot be without and I cannot force him to be without me. It was unfair to force me to choose my life or his, when really it was, our life, all along. It should have been my choice to choose him as he chose me. And I do, I choose him. I cannot explain how it has happened or if I will ever return but I can say that I called out for him, reached out for him and pleaded for him and before my last breath was completed … he came back for me. He came and took me to his world, the world I created, the world I have dreamed of my whole life. It has all seemed so unfair - until I believed. Believed that I deserve better, that I deserve him, and the life that we can have together and now I am happy, truly happy for the first time in my life. It’s funny, I am happy in the world that others called imaginary. But their imaginary is now my reality and he - is the best part of my reality.
You will wonder who he is, but you already know. It was … it is, his hand that holds mine.
