The burden of loving someone is too much knowing one day you'll be the one sent to kill him.


Have you transposed the 'is'?

The burden of loving someone too much is knowing one day you'll be the one sent to kill him.

Thanks Liz - that would be a yes.  Reminder to me "re-read before posting" :-) It could also go like this.

But I'm actually loving your post.  Thanks so much.

 

It’s a burden to love someone knowing one day you’ll be the one sent to kill him.

 

GiGi: Much better.  Makes me want to read the book.
If that reply was for me Nicole thanks... sometimes it's hard to follow the replies.  But I know I don't want something that's been used lately or at all.  I will rethink the opening line :-)
When you do please let me know. Now back to reworking it :-)
I can smell it from here! Great :)
Now I'm going to look at cheese and remember this - my eyes even watered.  Great job.
Ick! Very effective. My stomach is turning.
nice! I can see the fumes wafting!
Love it!

Going to try this again...

 

Not a day goes by he tries to forget those chilling words, "Take her and love her, can you do that knowing she'll be the one that tries to kill you?"
