Lie [Drabble #9]

I should be using other characters but I don't wanna hnng

I did like her, I really did. She was the most beautiful, courageous, exciting woman I had ever met. She was full of surprises, but that wasn't always good. She wouldn't open up, wouldn't tell the truth. I never have been a good liar. It couldn't work.

She was the dark, the night, velvet and rose petals and wine evening gowns and mystery.
I'm the morning, the earth, cotton sleep shirts, bitter coffee with cream, a bed of dandelions. We didn't work.
Sure, the memories were very nice. Yes, she reminded me of what I can't be. Of course, she was my total opposite.
But she didn't make me happy. And I can't blame her for it.
I don't think I made her happy, either.



I did like her, yes, but I don't think it was destiny. I think it was circumstance. A test.
That niether of us ever thought of taking it further.
Maybe it was my fault.

I'm sorry, Astasia.
