One Chance
You watch as she walks away, her bubblegum pink hair trailing behind her. She walks as if she's lost the spring in her step – the joy in her life – and you know it's your fault.
A part of your brain tells you you're an idiot. Another part tells you it's for the better. You're a monster and that will never change. She can't change that, even if she wants to.
You hear her sobs as she gets further and further away, yet you turn as well, determined not to listen. It's for the better, you try to convince yourself. You don't deserve love.
But does she?
Of course.
But not with you. It can never be. Never, ever, ever.
You're a monster.
That evening you cry yourself to sleep with the wireless playing softly. Celestina Warbeck comes on and she sings of only ever having one soulmate.
If you've met the one, don't ever let them go. We only ever get one chance.
It makes you think. Have you met the one? Is she it? Have you wasted your once chance?
Well, yes, of course you have. But you don't deserve love. You're a monster.
But then she comes knocking on your door, claiming her love for you. You love her too, you always have, but is it right?
Yes.
No.
"I love you, too."
She embraces you and you're done. You're finished. You've signed her up to a world of heartache.
How selfish. You're giving into that one chance. She's the one. She always will be.
You're happy, and she's happy. What else matters?
