i have one final promise to make to you, one i hope i will never break. i promise to love, richly and shamelessly and with my arms wide open to the great world. if there was any part left of you at the end that wished for our great happiness, that truly wanted what was best for us, i think it would be pleased to hear me say it. i do not know if i have justified my choice to you, but i think i have justified it to myself, and that has brought me peace enough.
so i will put down my pen. i will tuck these pages away in a drawer and tuck the memories of you away in my mind, and i will go out into the world and live. i will build an undying family of my own, and there will be no raised voices or locked doors between us. your memory will fade to shadow and i shall never speak your name again, not even when i tell my lovers the story of how we two met. there will only be sweetness and kindheartedness, and a hundread years of bliss.
there was no huge argument that predicted my decision to betray you, no ultimate act of tyranny. i simply broke under the weight of a thousand tense nights, a thousand thoughtless, soul-stripping words. i felt like i was losing my mind in that place, and eventually my desire to do something about it, anything about it, outweighted my fear of you.
but then, i was still optimistic. i still wanted to believe i was living in a fairy tale, that i laid down every night with a prince instead of a wolf.
i wanted to believe you.
you turned a strong-minded girl into a pulsing wound of need.
i never knew the meaning of the word enthralled before you.
