Empty Room - Greenleigh Adams

I walked away from everyone I cared about years ago as a lost man. I needed to find myself, and I wasn’t going to be able to do that managing my family-owned store.

When I returned, I discovered things hadn’t turned out as I expected. I managed to forge a semblance of a life but still remained angry, guarded, resentful, and withdrawn.

I continued to be grumpy for a long time, but one woman learned how to see through my gruff exterior and relocate my heart amongst the fall out of despair and tragedy.

I’m not sure how she dug out my soul and infused life back into me, but I never wanted to let her go. I needed her like I was desperate for oxygen, and she was the only one who could force me to take another breath.

I knew she needed me too, but she was suffering from her own heartbreak and feelings of abandonment.

I had to find out a way to make her realize it was okay for us to lean on each other.

If she would just let me in, I would stay by her side forever
