First person snippet

Not sure where I'm going with this, or if it'll even turn into anything, but I've been playing around with first person - which, for some reason, I find very hard to write in a fanfic context.   Anyway, this little blurb popped into my head while driving, so here it is.  I may expand on this down the road, who knows.  

Comments and stuff are good.  :)
_______________________________________________________

Once in a while, I feel like leaving everything behind. Getting on my motorcycle, and taking off for who knows where.  But I can’t do that; I have responsibilities.  Yeah, I know they’re not my kids – but they might as well be.  They look up to me.  They depend on me.   So I can’t do that to them, not anymore.

And then, you came into my life, and lit everything up like a falling comet.  I went from black and white to technicolor.  I didn’t expect it to happen – didn’t want it to happen, at first.  We were enemies, and then…we were not.   You understood when I needed time alone, just to think.  You didn’t nag me like so many others would do.  You respected me…and loved me enough to give me space.

For that, I thank you.  But now…the light is gone.  You’re gone, and I don’t know what to do anymore.  I was a plant, and you were my sunlight; without you, I feel withered and parched.  

I want you back.  I need you back.  And I’m doing my damnedest to make that happen.  

Even if I die trying.
