He was bold She was hidden Losing her again was not an option because Loving her was irrevocable. I hadn't seen Jackson since we were little kids. Even then I knew he was something special. He was the sun on my darkest days, the only ray of joy I hung onto. But then he left. And I was forgotten. When he rode back into town I expected nothing. I trudged through my days the same as always. But I was wrong because just like when we were kids, Jackson became the light in my life before I knew what was happening. His smile. His laugh. The way he touched me. It was a dream. It wouldn't take long for the darkness to return. And when it did, Jackson would be gone again. I expected it. Braced myself to lose him again. Little did I know that needing him was irrevocable.
