Sweat beads dripped from my forehead and nose profusely as I laid in the bed staring at the door; hoping that it wouldn't open. That particular night the wind was raging out of control as the trees beat against my window. I've never been so afraid in my life. I prayed to God that the door wouldn't open. It was almost like I was in a trance, after a while I couldn't hear the wind anymore or the trees knocking on the window. All I could hear at that point was the beating of my heart. It seemed like forever as I watched the door knob turn. Every second my heart beat a little harder and faster, I sweated a little bit more, my teeth started to chatter and my throat tightened as I clenched the sheets; holding them up to my face. Finally the door opened..........and she walked out.
Stunned, not knowing what to do; my instincts told me to go after her and I almost did. Suddenly the wind calmed down to a breeze, the trees stood still and my door was wide open. I felt like since she left then maybe it would be best that I closed it.
Deciding to leave it open; days, weeks and months went by and I continued to stare at an open door. I eventually began to focus my attention on other things.It wasn't long after I took my focus off that door before someone else was entering, someone I wouldn't have to lay in fear of losing because they were afraid of losing me. I then realized the same door one person walks out of someone else can easily enter......
...........and then "WE" closed the door.
