I told you stories about bloody wars ending in glory.
Your favorites were of heroes who went insane or transformed into beasts, stories of death and carnage because you never liked love stories.
So, I armored-up with you. In life, on the screen, and across the table we fought off our foes.
One day, we lay down in the tall, sweet shadows of summer grass. I felt bliss, watching the gold flickering in your dark eyes.
I was sure you were ready to hear my love stories. Instead, you rolled away, and left for someone who didn’t believe in such things.
Well told tale of when dreams collide and reality rears it’s ugly head.
Thank you b.
For me it’s about when people tell you who they are – believe them. 🙂
Love it!
Thank you for reading Kathleen!
I love the unexpected ending. (Always the optimist here.) You are so right in your comment–when people tell you who they are, believe them. Great 101 words, Julie.
Thank you Loire :)!
Julie — this hit me so hard, I had to reread it several times, each one more of a slam than the one before. Such an intense and emotional piece. WOW!
Thank you Marlene, it means a lot to hear your words!
