Simply A Tragedy: Chapter One.
of broken hearts and symphonies.
By: Ryuiichi Hyuuga.
Perhaps there is a princess in this story, but this story is way too far from being a fairy-tale. It isn't happy at all and nor will it have a happy ending, well, not for me at least. So, as I said, this isn't a fairy tale--but once upon a time, I fell madly in love with perfection. Yes, perfection has a name, and she goes by Shizuru Fujino. The center of my dreams and my pain, the very image of a goddess, and the only woman I could ever love.
She broke my heart on one wet, dreary morning a few years ago. She then broke my heart again on a hot afternoon. And once again on a warm, cozy night. Again, and again, and again. She's broken my heart so many times, that I've already lost count.
And do you know what the worst part is?
She doesn't even know, and she never will. I've already swore to myself not to tell her, fearing she would feel awkward around me and would eventually stray too far from me. No, no, I could never allow that to ever happen. I don't think I'll know what to do without her.
So, now, she's lying on my bed sobbing against my neck, and I am stroking her hair ever so gently. You see, she has just broken up with her boyfriend, whose name I've forgotten (or never bothered to know), and is now using me as a consolation. Her eyes are red, watery, and puffy and she says that she looks horrible but I merely shake my head and tell her that she's beautiful, careful to not show any kind of facial feature that could lead her to suspicions.
"You're lying."
"Of course not," I say, "You've always been beautiful, and you will always be."
She giggles softly, "Ara, you're such a flatterer."
I chuckle and hold her closer to me. This is enough, I tell myself as I feel her breath against my neck. But in the back of my mind, I know I want more. I want to be the one to kiss her just because I feel like it, the one to hold her hand while she goes shopping, the one to tell her 'I love you' just because I do.
And it fucking hurts.
Because unbeknownst to her, she's broken my heart again.
Ahh, unrequited love, thou art a heartless bitch, but a lovely one at that.
And yes, this might be short, but I shall continue it. So please review, they are like cookies to me. :)
