Here's my love story.

The general atmosphere was one of such gloom that it seemed to weigh down the air, seeping slowly into the skin of any lonely passerby. Dark, ominous clouds obscured the sun and a thick fog lay upon the ground, a dark veil such as one may have worn to a funeral. Upon this gray and lonely path one, solitary person tread, the heels of his black, polished shoes making a muffled clicking sound against the cracked pavement.

In keeping with the funereal theme, the man’s attire was mostly black with a faint hint of white or gold here and there. Even the complexion of his gaunt face was ashen and pale, tainted by the presence of dark bags beneath his sunken eyes. The only color that seemed to exist was the bouquet of a dozen pink, long-stemmed roses in his hands. Slowly, with much reverence, he approached a solitary tombstone, kneeling to the ground before it, hardly seeming to care about the mud and rainwater soiling his trousers. And, curiously enough, he began weaving the flowers into a wreath, fingers moving deftly and with such swiftness and certainty that it was clear that he had done the same thing many times before.

The pink roses rapidly came together to form a perfect circle with neither a damaged petal nor a broken stem. With great reverence, he placed the wreath upon the grave, looking up at the giant slab of stone. He began to speak, not seeming to notice that there was no one there to answer.

“Do you remember these flowers, Cecile?”

He paused, as if expecting an answer.

“They are from the same bush as all the others, you know. The one I planted from the flowers I had spent so many hours searching for—the ones you sent back to me the moment you saw them.”

His voice had taken on a faintly cross, accusatory tone. Again, he paused, raising gray eyes as if searching for something.

“But this wreath was easier to make, you know. I suppose it is a skill that comes with practice. And—you should know this, though, without me saying so, Cecile—I have had much, much practice.”

Another long pause.

“Is this one acceptable, Cecile? Not a single withered flower, just as I promised, you know.” With a hint of bitterness, he added, “Just the same as the last fifteen.”

If the numbers on the grave were to be trusted, the woman, Cecile, had died five years ago. And every week, without fail, rain or shine, the young man currently kneeling before her grave had come before the stone and woven a wreath of pink roses. And, curiously enough, each time a strong gust of wind had come and blown it into his lap.

This week was no different. A fierce wind whistled through the trees and scooped up the roses, raising them higher and higher into the sky before finally dropping them upon the young man’s knees. “So, these are not acceptable, either, Cecile?”

For a moment, a look of bitter frustration and disappointment crossed his features. But, he heaved a sigh of resignation and murmured, “Very well, then. I shall plant another rose bush from these flowers, as well.” Clutching the wreath, he picked himself up, his eyes glistening with unshed tears.

“It is not fair, Cecile!” he burst out, finally. “Why will you not love me? Have I not been faithful to you? Shall… Shall I come visit you more often? Shall I—” Before he could finish his sentence, the wind returned, this time stealing away his hat, blowing it several yards down the path. “Very well, Cecile, I shall leave. However, I will return in exactly one week’s time.”

He walked away, kneeling to pick up his hat. Heart broken for what felt like the millionth time, he returned to his home, set on a large plot of land covered completely in pink rose bushes, each smelling so strongly of Cecile’s perfume that if Jean closed his eyes he could almost believe that she was there in the room with him. And with that illusion came a curious pleasure that was tinged with sadness. It was the only semblance of happiness Jean had known or would ever know.

I will try to say the words
That my soul wishes you to know
I want you to understand how much you mean to me
And why I love you so.
No one else can understand my feelings better
And touch my heart like you.
None can melt my heart
By just holding my hand like you.
Your affectionate glance or a gentle kiss
Is enough to make my cares all fade.
Loving thoughts of you envelope me
And always keep you near.


I would have written about The big bad Wolf and Red Riding hood but it is To Wordy. crying

Do opposites Never Attract?

You fool me?
Should I cry or should I laugh?
We aren't that different
You and me
You see life for the future
While I'm still stuck in the past
What holds us there?
Is it hope?
Dreams?
Or just memories?
They said we were in a fools game
Two opposites don't make a whole
Or so they tell me
Can this really not work?
Is our love a lie?
Should we really listen?
Cause isn't the point of us, so we can truly express ourselves?
So we can laugh?
So we can cry and all that in between?
Since when did we start to listen to others?
Its our love
Not thiers
Can't we bring them togother?
Past and Future
You see life for the future
While I'm still stuck in the past
Can we make something in the present?
Or do opposites never attract?

Hey is this still open? I only ask because you gave no real end date and you didn't announce a winner. At least I don't think so. Just wondering....
