What happens when you meet the right person, at the right time, but under the wrong circumstances? Well, let me tell you all about it...
You end up with a lot of sleepless nights filled with guilt. Why? Because she's verboten. I should leave it at that. Yet, I can't. She has infiltrated my psyche, my mind, and soul, not to mention the old ticker. I earned her friendship, her trust, but all that did was make me want more. Alas, I am not a selfish person. In this scenario, she comes first. And I would never do anything to hurt her, even if it breaks me. And by the looks of it, I am already halfway there, especially since I have to watch from the sidelines, acting like I don't see her pain, don't notice what he is doing to her, to that little boy who took my heart with one simple smile.

Stuck in a hamster wheel, going nowhere, the daily loop just keeps rinsing and repeating. I have a purpose: my family, and I live for that purpose. Somehow, I didn't realize I lost myself on the way. One interaction changes it all, makes me question everything, shatters the rose-colored glasses, revealing the truth that is my life.
