I have yet to forget the night where I lost everything there ever was.

She smiled at me and I at her. I looked lovingly into her eyes, and pushed the gear into drive. For two hours we moved forward, passing trucks in the misty landscape. A nighttime aroma had filtered through the combustion, and dew formed on the window’s edge. I took a hand away from the steering wheel to touch her thigh, and recognize once again our love. I did not look away from the scarcely illuminated road, but the gentle caress of her hand justified my own. The moon emerged from behind its cloud, and gave way to the beauty of all that lay ahead. The wrinkles under my eye smiled with this beauty, and shared in the bounty. I can not describe the pleasure. For I can only view within human capability and am therefore unequipped. I loved the woman who held my hand. More so than the utterly consuming beauty of unfathomable grace.

A car struck without warning. Gas and flames prevailed. Mist gave to smoke and fury entered in. A dragging metal crunch simplified my love’s life. Harsh torrents of pelting hatred ravaged my body and devoured that which was my soul. But they did not strip me of that which was given to me. I was allowed to live. The price of it, though, was far too reprehensible.

 

I have yet to forget. And I sincerely doubt I shall. A love went through the mist and the flames and the memory. A love went through a death and a life. A love went through. Her hand met mine in a lifetime. If that is not important, I doubt much is. Her hand met mine in an existence. What else matters? Just for the moment of her caress, I would abide. Just for the mist and the moon, I do submit. She lies in the shadows, she lives in my all. My loss is mine. My life is not.

She loved me. She loved me. She loved me. She did.

I’m so glad you came back.. I thought you were gone forever.

your words are so romantically tragic.why must love be this way?why must be pushed into love only to crash & burn?tell me why.i tend to wonder where this passion & these words come from?surely you will tell me…morgan xxx;

why must we all live through our memories?why do you wallow in them?we can’t seem to live for the life that we are in today & now.memories are in the past, why cannot we forget them & let them go.yes, i must play devil’s advocate.morgan xxx;

The timing of this entry is absolutely inexplicable- how DO you manage to do that all the time? I’m intrigued by that capability… If this comes from any real-life experience, which many pieces of writing do, then I am truly sorry. Nothing could be more painful- if the person who I love died, I wouldn’t be able to carry on- mentally, anyway. Don’t be envious of true love- it’s waiting for you

ohhh crikey. that was so damn perfect. perfect perfect perfect. xxx

Thanks for the note. 🙂 I guess those are alright, but for some reason the more I read them the less I like them. But thanks a lot anyways. I like this story. It’s more harsh & real & I’m twisted, so I like that kind of thing. LoL It’s really good, though. Shows others what can actually happen once they get past their perfect, fantasy world.

That was great. I liked how you built up the beauty and perfection of the moment then showed how that could all change in a instant. Very nice.
