What happens when you fall in love with someone who is worse than a corpse? You end up being stuck between life and death. The milieu was perfect but I was no longer disillusioned. So, when we reconnected, I had to show him that I could still love despite knowing his flaws, despite the uncertainties he brought along. No questions asked, unconditional love seeped out and the inner child flipped through all her dreams to create the perfect moment with the beloved. One last day, one last time, the fire blazed before it extinguished. I walked away because I understood; water a stone for ages, it will never grow anything.
