The Road to Love
“He’d hoped this moment wouldn’t come. He knew better. He never allowed himself get close to people. It carried too many risks.
This time saying goodbye would hurt even worse than his father’s goodbye.
Yet knowing that, he’d spent the afternoon in the luxury of feeling things, thinking things, wishing things that could never be his.
It was time to accept the inevitable; he was destined to be a wanderer and a vagabond.
