Curiosity killed the cat.

That's what they always tell me, the say it like it's a prayer. And I follow it.

But you cannot just take curiosity away from someone; they will always have something that they consider different.

In this case, it didn't kill a cat. It killed a man, and not just any man.

This man meant the world to me, and it's only now that I realize it.

I wanted him, and he knew it. He was curious to, and in the end it killed him.

"Pirate." His one uttering haunts me.

And then I think of the end of that phrase, the one many people don't bother saying.

But satisfaction brought it back.

I smile a small smile.

Maybe, just maybe he has a chance.

Curiosity may have killed the cat, but what of the satisfaction?
