He thinks about her a lot.
It usually happens in moments of rest, when his mind is unfettered and free. It never happens when he sleeps...these thoughts take energy. It happens when he’s alone and relaxed, and his eyes have nothing to see but his own thoughts...when he has total control over his own destiny.
He thinks about loving her...the girl she was, the woman she became. The ready smiles, the breathtaking tragedy that’s always just a heartbeat away in her eyes. What joy she feels, she shares without meaning to, and it saves souls, her happiness. Her sorrow is the same, and mortally wounds everyone she touches. It cuts with a double-edged sword...it’s a sorrow one makes one’s own, and the grief of love...being unable to lift her burdens.
She has too much life in her to ever love a normal man without destroying him. Maybe that’s why the only real and meaningful relationships she’s ever had were with men that had no life of their own to give her. Maybe she was made to love the dead.
She’s the woman every man desiring a healthy relationship should run away from...but she’s the only woman that will ever make him truly, perfectly happy.
So he runs, like a smart man should...but when he finds those moments when his destiny is his own, moments where he’s completely, totally free...
He thinks about her.
