But I never understood the reason why.</p><p><br></p><p>Until now.</p><p>Until Autumn.</p><p><br></p><p>When I enter the tattoo shop Autumn is the last person I expect. A woman who garners my attention.</p><p>A beaming star in my dark sky. A woman who soothes my soul and glues my broken pieces back together.</p><p><br></p><p>For the first time in years I picture no one except Autumn in my arms. And I plan to make it a reality.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Autumn</strong></p><p>My heart learned envy on my friend's wedding day.
