Enough to Pretend

She didn't know exactly when she knew for sure, when she finally came to the realization. It had probably been there the entire time, hiding in the back of her head. The truth always seemed to do that.
She wasn't good enough. She wasn't enough. Not enough for him. Period. End of story. Almost.
Except that every time she saw him, it didn't seem that way. Because when she looked in his eyes, the truth disappeared into that dark corner in her mind where unwanted thoughts always seemed to go. Where they always hid when you needed their reminder the most. She would smile. But things never changed. When he walked away and she remembered, her heart would break.
It really was amazing how someone could break your heart and you could somehow still love them with all the broken pieces.
He thought she didn't know about his late night escapades. Late at night when she was supposedly asleep, he would always creep away. To her, because Kagome was never enough.
Not enough to love, just enough to pretend.
