Taking a chance on "What If"

Story of the girl who prides herself on being "the one that got away"

and what happened when she met the boy who makes time stand

still and her heart want to stay.

Never did two souls so beaten and broken shy away from the fear of

love and loss of which is infant and unspoken. Breathing, beating,

jumping, falling, catching or crashing. Honesty in its rawest form.

Envy of innocence, envy of experience. Open eyes, open minds,

closed hearts? All these obstacles will make for a truly rough start.

Side by side, hand in hand all is new and alive, trusting in that feeling.

Waiting with caution, hoping for healing and wishing for meaning.

Taking a chance on what if.

  I came across this “poem” I wrote shortly after Ryan and I starting dating, reading it now takes me back to how scared I was to fall for him. We were both in places in life not ideal to start a new relationship and handle all of its trials. Now here we are stronger than ever, hand in hand looking forward to a year full of blissful change. Wherever life & the Corps may take us we are ready to take on anything and we are doing it together.

SAFA,
