I Got Unhitched!
After five weeks of bliss, something broke!
The first part here:
The parting was touching. She came into my arms one last time. It’s weird but explainable since another heart is not responding to yours, your joys melt, and you want to say goodbye.
We didn’t say anything. She had a quiet purr, and I listened. She denied having it, and most people didn’t hear it. But I did.
Yesterday, she told me she had married me as a ‘gesture’. I wasn’t sure what that meant, but I certainly appreciated it. I’m sorry to say she was embarrassed by the whole thing.
“The way we met…” she always started to say and never finished.
Our meeting was sort of crazy — a good kind of crazy, something she called Fate. I thought I could keep her with that thought. In bed, it wasn’t like her back never arched or her skin never quivered under my breath. I suppose newness never talks about complaints but is only content with making groans.
