Love & Hope

Love.
What does it really mean?

I didn’t have the conventional childhood.
I didn’t have friends, and I never fitted in – I was a loner.
Until her…my only friend, she made me smile.

For years, I didn’t think I was capable of love…it had a price attached to it, at least that’s how I was taught.
Nobody knows why I hold my cards so close to my chest and no one knows about my past, I like it that way.

When a blast from the past comes back into my life, things I never thought I’d need to deal with again are brought back into focus.

Does Love and Hope exist?
