Below is the start of a story that I srated writing about 5 years ago and then lost. Comments would be appreciated on how the beginning is going as well as if you think I should start to work on it again and maybe finish it. Let me know what you think!

My Angel
I had always heard that a persons eyes are the windows to their soul but I never believed it until I was drawn into the depths of Angel’s eyes. Caught within his gaze I felt as though I had known and loved him forever even though we had just met. I felt myself falling deeper and deeper into the arctic blue ocean that was his eyes. Within his eyes I saw myself and who I was to become. Within his arms I felt all the joy and bliss that could not be explained or contained even in one lifetime. Angel bought to life the part of me that I thought had died so long ago. In his embrace I felt abounding warmth and tenderness. Within his soul I felt pain and sorrow. Within his kiss I found excitement and passion, and within his heart I found love and hope for a lifetime. After meeting Angel and getting lost in his eyes I knew in the deepest part of my being that things would never be the same again.
How can one describe the pain, sorrow and agony of a life such as mine? I was abandoned as a child, left to run the streets alone. I had loved the wrong man, which led me to the wrong side of his gun. I had been beaten and abused. I had turned to drugs and alcohol to drown the pain only to discover that they made it worse. I had even resorted to suicide on more than one occasion. I had overdosed, slit my wrist and even attempted to hang myself, yet nothing seemed to work. I had resigned myself to living a life a misery without friend, family, hope or faith.
After meeting Angel I felt as though I had a purpose. All of a sudden my life had hope and meaning. I was meant to love this man, to become his wife and the mother of his children. Even though I had only known him for a short while I knew this was my destiny. With Angel everything suddenly seemed brighter and obvious. With Angel I could see everything that my future held, and my future was him.
