Fiction #5: Heartbreak
August 28, 2007It ended like it almost always does. There was a boy, and there was a girl, and though they loved each other well, they both knew they were going nowhere. So, they said goodbye. He made her cry. She swore to pretend he never happened.
There are moments during the day, however, when she’d stop and remember the strength of his fingers, the lightness of his smiles, the tightness of his jawbone while he tries to rein in his anger, and then she’d sigh. She knows just what it is she feels at the moment, she knows it intimately and only too well. It is sorrow trying to forget its own name.
