Dwelt In Possibility

"She wanted something to happen- something, anything: she did not know what." --Kate Chopin Yes, I wanted something to happen I wanted him to love me, to even notice me, but he sped through Life as if I was a dead girl walking. To him, I was nothing. To me, he was everything. To me, he was Life and Breath He was Water and Nourishment He was Spirit and Soul He was my all, though I scarcely knew him. I knew him not, But I knew I loved him. I knew Love well enough to know it came to me continuously Like a cat in need of attention. But he knew not Love, For he shunned me. He shunned me like the moon shuns the sun. We met no more, Nor did I see him anywhere. Nor did it matter anymore. He left me I wanted something to happen... anything to happen... But nothing ever did.
