Differences
Kirra White Tigress
Where there is normalcy, there is always an anomaly born to disrupt the course of nature. Whether it is the abnormal Runt in the Litter or the unusual girl in the classroom, it must always occur in order for commonness to be appreciated.
You, my dear Elphaba, were the anomaly in my life.
It was strange at first to have such a person in my life, and I immediately began to pick out our differences. You were green; I am normal-hued, if not a shade lighter due to the absence of sunlight. You are poor; I am rich. You are smart in the classroom; I am smart in the ways of propriety.
Over time, my list grew. And eventually I realized that I was becoming closer and closer to you. After all, how can one name every difference if one does not first know the individual targeted? The depth and intimacy of every revelation intrigued me as well as horrified me. I knew that if we were to hate one another, I would have to remain at a distance. But… I found that I didn't want to be separated from you.
I found that you have a sort of fluency with the Animal race; I with humans. You have a tendency to get frustrated over almost anything that doesn't go as planned; I shrug things off and hope for the best the next time. You're mean and sarcastic and vengeful; I am soft-hearted and would break at even a single cruel word uttered, especially from you.
But the last things that separates you from me wasn't made until the day you left me behind in the Emerald City, and I have yet to get over it.
I am deeply and madly in love with you, my Elphie… but you could never feel the same for me.
