Click hereI never called her and she never called me. I saw her once, from a distance, in the Student Bookstore. I just turned and left.
The memory was fading; but never disappearing, no matter how much I tried to put it out of my mind. I was tired of being angry. It got me nowhere and made me feel worse. But, the deep... deep hurt lingered.
Night times in my bed. The bed where we gave ourselves to each other. The bed we made love in those last few days, were the worst times. The betrayal.
I wondered if I could ever let somebody back into my heart like that ever again. To that point of closeness. To that level of trust. To risk losing. To risk, having my heart broken again. To ever say those three words that were on the tip of my tongue; but, were never said... "I love you",
Maybe it's part of growing up; but, I think I became a 'harder' person. Not as trusting. More guarded. I looked at the world differently. The world was a cold and, at times, cruel place. With cold and cruel people.
Sometimes, 'Life just sucks' and there's nothing you can do about it; except to suck it up and Keep Moving Forward.

Anonymousabout 2 years agoGood flow, and interesting, looking forward to CH2 now. I can relate to the era and thinking (any younger folks know what “collect” calls are?)
I actually lost me v-card about the same age as MC here, but I was (am) more obsessed with the almighty P, F’ing & S so did it absent the emotional attachment so eloquently expressed here. So I missed some aspect of emotional development (more bluntly put was (am) a pervert). Writing that can make someone see/feel something like this is an accomplishment; congrats on your talent. Thanks and keep at it.
gatorhermitabout 2 years agoYour use of ‘air quotes’ is distracting and not necessary in most instances. If you go back through your text, you will find that your sentences read better with out the quotation marks. Otherwise story is ok.
onlythelonelyloveabout 2 years agoActually I hope he turns out to be an average person with an average life—give or take. That is how it actually is for many of us. And if we are lucky we meet someone that is THE ONE. Not because we “deserve” it but because Grace is a mysterious thing in this universe….
