==========================
THE CIRCLE OF ORBIT:
Jessenia
==========================
There are moments that last a lifetime. Watching the sun rise and set, knowing that you'll live to see the freedom that you've always fought for ... all these things I have learned to cement in my memory so that when I am alone or self-doubting, I know that my life has had moments when time has stopped.
But I was taught to remember the failures. To avoid all faults and achieve an impossible perfection. Only now have I finally realized that these goals were not perfect at all. My moments, the ones that I think about all the time, are the most painful ones.
A smile, a wave.
A last good-bye.
The knowledge that something precious is lost.
You taught me to live. You taught me what I really needed to know. All the little things that have been the determining factors in how I survive. It is because of you that I have not gone into seclusion and shut out the light. But it is because of you that I cannot stop the painful memories from tormenting me when I least suspect them.
Because you left.
You left for her. Damn you.
You taught me to love only to break my heart.
Don't you know that this is love you are cheating?
