70VE (OctPoWriMo2014)-Day 26

I stare at the long dark hallway

Hoping a light will show up

I swallow hard

Clench my fists

And feel the sweat form on my face

One step after another I slowly go

For a second I close my eyes tightly 

Hoping this is the right choice

I try to be mindful of my surroundings 

But there's nothing to see

I'm all alone

With goosebumps on my skin

I'm more than halfway there

But I want to turn around

What's waiting for me?

I see a light just at the end

I stop before I step into the brightness

What if it's not there?

Take a deep breath...exhale

I walk into the light

A smile spreads across my face

Love was waiting for me all along
