My father taught me at a young age that wisdom is something to be shared. He always told my brother and me that if you strive to be the best you can be, then you have nothing to worry about. There’s enough room at the top for everyone. Brett Waters wanted to be alone at the top, and that was a red flag for me. 

“It’s not like I’ve won every race in my life. People beat me sometimes, it just made me work harder. I didn’t hate them for it. I blamed myself for losing, not others for beating me.”

I knew the pain of losing someone you loved. Loving someone meant that you had something to lose.

“I won’t hurt you. I’m afraid you’re the one in the position to do all the hurting.”

She tilted her head to the side, lips swollen where I’d kissed her hard, and eyes narrowed and questioning. “How do you figure?”

“Because you’re the one that keeps trying to fly away, Little Bird.”

“The best things in life never come easy.”

“There’s no replacing the other half of your heart, honey.”

I always held back just a little bit from allowing myself to be completely happy. Because the fear of actually being happy and then losing it, was apparently less scary than not allowing yourself to be happy at all.

“They can wait. Right now, I need to show you how much I love you.”

“You show me every day,” she whispered.
