This Town

Worn-down and exhausted
Felt like his life was passing him by
Hated his job, missed his family
Spent most nights with no one by his side

He’d reached a breaking point
Knew something had to give
Packed everything that mattered
Started driving, life to live
10 hours later, opened the door
Stepped onto the pavement
He’d never seen this before

T-minus

10
minutes I stood, leaning against my door, after our first date. Blindsided by your charm, unwilling to admit to myself how I felt.


9
hours before I heard from you again, a cheery good morning text that I was excited to wake up to.


8
months I spent getting to know you. You didn't make it easy, but I assumed you were worth the time and effort.
