"I love you so much." His voice is breathless and full of fear. "I'll love you forever. Even when I can't."
My tears fall harder at his words. "And I'll love you forever. Even when I shouldn't."
Every day of my life it feels as if I'm fighting my way up an escalator that only goes down. And no matter how fast or how hard I run to try to reach the top, I stay in the same place, sprinting, getting nowhere.
