Hurts So Good

Sometimes, I want to run as far from you as possible, but force myself to stay.

Sometimes, I want to stay so badly, but the pain is so deep I must force myself to leave.

Sometimes, I want to turn the clock back and have you all to myself.

All the time, I know that's not right for you, me, or any of us.

All the time, I can't make it through reading our favorite books together without crying.

Most times, I can't kiss your sweet face without thinking I won't be able to anytime I want.

All the time, I memorize your soft skin with my fingers so as never to forget.

Sometimes, there is nowhere in this world I would rather be than with you!

Sometimes, I think of a day without you, and I have to stop...

Sometimes, I have to leave the room because I've cried enough in front of you.

All the time, it's beyond words to watch you fade away.

Sometimes, I am so happy for you not to be in this broken body anymore, my heart leaps!

All the time, I love our heart to heart talks.

All the time, I love to cuddle you up in the nest with Daddy and Rainey.

Sometimes, I am incredibly sad when you don't eat.

Sometimes, I am incredibly happy when you don't eat.

All the time, I love crawling into bed with you in the morning.

Most times, when you are despondent - I can handle it, as I understand.

Sometimes, it makes me want to leave home and never come back.

Sometimes, when you are gone...I will smile in a big way.

Sometimes, I won't.
