Written for Maristela Freesia's 100 Theme Challenge.

Theme 1: Love

Love, it sounds like such a simple word.

It's not.

It's complicated, dangerous and hard to hold on to.

I thought I had found the one, the girl that would always be there for me. The one who would always make me smile.

And for a few years, it was good. She was perfect for me.

But things happen, life challenges you, and disasters strike.

War struck.

Deaths occurred.

Her sister died.

She blamed me.

I lost her love.

I never thought that I would ever love again.

But life goes on. The world keeps turning, and hearts learn to heal.

I'm healing.

And I'm trying to let go of the pain.

I wish I could talk to her one last time. I wish I could tell Katniss that I love her over and over again.

But I will leave her alone, because I promised her.

And I keep my promises.

Love, it's complicated.
