None, yetA Story by juniperpiglet
She is not a woman who trusts easily.
Her friends are dead, or no longer her friends. Time, distance, misunderstanding have intervened, and they do not write. They do not call. She is not sure whose fault it is, but suspects her own. She fell in love once. He was utterly unsuitable. He was perfect. She was too young. She was too broken. But she loved him anyway. He was too experienced. He was too broken. She is not sure now that he loved her. At the time she was sure that he loved her. He is dead, too. She is not sure whose fault it is, but suspects her own. Sometimes it is hard to remember what is real, and what is the story she tells herself. She told herself that she would never love again. She fell in love again. It is not the same as the first time. He is kind. She is not too young. She has mended. It is good. The cracks appear. Broken is not as fixable as it seems. It is good, then bad, then nothing. He is unhappy. She is unhappy because he is unhappy. She is unhappy because she is unknown. He is unhappy because she is unhappy. She is not sure whose fault it is, but suspects her own. She leaves him. He is happy. This is what she wanted. This should make her happy. Sometimes it is hard to remember what is real, and what is the story we tell. © 2014 juniperpigletAuthor's Note
