Rot
All you ever did was use her and try to control her. I saw the way you treated her, and you, my friend, were nothing but horrible to her. You never deserved her. I hope you like those pictures she sent you, and I hope you enjoy the guilt that consumes you every time you think about them. You know what you did. You took a perfect innocent angel, and you made her into something she hates. I really hope you’re proud of yourself albert.
Exquisite
I opened my eyes and her face was the first thing I saw. Bathed in morning light, she was flawless. Her still sleeping eyes rimmed by dark lashes looked like heaven to me. Her dark hair was a still a mess from the night before, and now it fell around her shoulders in waves. I wanted to touch her, but I didn’t want to wake her just yet. I lay still for several minutes just watching her sleep, and soon I saw a tiny smile pull up the corners of her mouth. She was dreaming, and I wondered what could be happening in her mind at that moment to coax a smile from the most magnificent mouth I’d ever seen.
Slowly she opened her eyes, and the first thing I noticed was how her hazel eyes were a lovely shade of green. She looked at me sleepily and a smile spread across her perfect face, and she said in her thick morning voice, “I’m so glad it wasn’t a dream”, then she closed her eyes and tucked her face into my neck and I held her close and breathed in the scent of her skin. When I kissed her shoulder I could still taste the light tangy flavor of her sweat, and it reminded me of our love-making the night before. I kissed her lips and tasted the sleep on her tongue, and I thought to myself “how have I lived so long without this?”
If I live a hundred years, this moment will be forever remembered. Her taste, her smell, the silky smooth feel of her skin under my fingertips…. All of it. I will never forget this.
