Against all odds...strongest love of all

I can remember it like it was yesterday. The day my world crashed. There was no surprise as to what was happening that day. My boyfriend, the sweetest man in the world to me, was going to go to jail for beating up an ignorant man one night in a drunken rage. This surprised me. To me he was a sensitive and emotional man. I had never seen him so angry as to turn to violence. Together we sat, side by side, waiting for the judge to call his name. He did, and the reality of not having my best friend around hit me hard. I looked at him standing there in the front of the courtroom. blah, blah, blah, three years, blah,blah,blah. There, it was set. He would be gone for a year at the very least. He walked along the row of plastic dividers. There were 6. A sweet kiss blown across the room, and away he went. Through a locked door. A scenery he would be seeing for awhile now. Not my messy bedroom, or my face. Not his dog or anyone who cares about him. Just ruthless strangers. My world is still paused for now. That was just a small sample of what I've got.
