In typical Sarah fashion, I turned a homework assignment into fan fiction. We had to write about love, and since I had no experience, I figured Johnlock would work. Just as a note, the weird capitalization, the allusions and the excessive punctuation were requirements for the assignment :)
goodbye my almost lover
a scorching day in late july.
that's when they met.
at first
it wasn't so much Friendship
or Love
as a meeting of Minds-
two lost Souls that otherwise
had nothing in common-
one tall-
one short.
one genius-
one average.
but there was something there
that neither could ignore-
a Spark.
in the moment it was nothing
but an Interest
in each other-
in one's fascinating tricks-
and in the other's simplicity.
with kaleidoscope eyes
and a rare smile,
old scars
and broken pasts,
they became each other's Everything-
a reason to get up in the morning
and forget what they'd seen
in the Years Before.
with the passing days
and the ardent nights,
they taught each other-
how to think,
how to feel,
how to live-
and then something changed.
that spark in their bones
suddenly reignited
with a fresh flame
of a desperate desire
to be loved-
to have love-
but it was too late.
a short, agonizing
phone call later-
and one was just
a ghost
flickering from view-
and old scars became new.
