In another life

“In another life, shall our paths cross again.”

 

F**k another life. I don’t believe in that fairytale. Another life? And I’m supposed to waste this life, these fragile years torturing myself over the thought that maybe, just maybe in another life I will be able to fall asleep beside you? That maybe I will get to hold you in my arms again, watch your eyes ignite under the stars?

Don’t tell me our roads will cross once more, I don’t want to live in such a despair, clinging to the mercy of the Fates until they decide it’s a good time to reunite, as if the past had never bled us dry. What if we don’t? What if that’s just a bedtime story you tell yourself to soften the blow, to make your heart ache a little less? How the f**k am I supposed to live knowing I may never see you smile again?

We shape our fates, we hold our future in our hands and yet… you let us go. You gave up on us like we were just a game, not destined to last, but entertain each other for a short time before drifting apart…

I asked for one thing, just one. I wanted you to fight. I needed you to fight for us, because I couldn’t fight our battles alone. And you? You just stood there, safely on the sidelines, watching our love collapse. You didn’t run to catch it, you just looked up at a shooting star, wishing for us to meet again, in another life.

And that’s when I knew, you were already gone.

“Hey, I read a bit of your work and really liked how you handle character voice. I’m developing a fantasy comic/graphic novel set in a protected woodland where humans, animals, and creatures can all communicate, with some humor mixed in. I’m mainly looking for help with dialogue and character moments. If that sounds interesting, feel free to reply or add me on Discord: laurendoesitall or Instagram: lizziedoesitall.”

Hi, I am not knowing what to write as a defence comment, yea we need someone to sacrifice and did make me watch where you never answered or told what you need, you just let me quiet and I already was silent relying on you ..

Few lines to cross are not such lines like bamboo stick, it's a real stick you put aside and made me to cross my own stick too what are you saying I don't understand to lie is easy for few but not for few.. people are waiting here, everytime you seek best possible solution and a solution of truth honesty love..

If only the Fairy Tales told the true tale everyone is supposed to end with YOU being the hero.. The fact they are set to put us in this mindset about love proves these tales are rewrote to control. I am not good at English but I really felt the pain when you realized, that hit my heart. I love your writing and dude it hit me for sure loved it. Yeah we are supposed to be enough for ourselves then our partner is extra fluff of LOVE and no stress attached. Peace
