Gryphons In Conflict
Fists and teeth clenched, he takes step after step away from her memory. Today he nearly convinced himself he hates her. Today, as he searched through piles of papers and disks and accidentally found her promise of forever, he almost doesn't love her enough to stay. Today, he's angry enough to walk away...almost.
He sits in the floor, determined to exorcise this haunting evil. Allowing his mind to move back to the beginning, to the first of the days when he loved her.
"I don't even believe in forever love, or in one love forever and ever." "I'm not the one-fur type.""I don't want to fall in love, not even for a little while." "I'm never going to give my soul to anyone else."
He tries not to moan, hearing her warning and determination in each word. She takes that moment to touch him, from the inside out, and he lets her touch tell him what she needs him to know.
"I fell in love accidentally, not because I wanted to." "I'm giving you everything this time, no holding back to save myself the pain." "I'm ready for one love, and one forever." "I am not ashamed to try."
He wants to hate her, and he wants to hold her. He's torn between what he thinks and what he feels. But, the feelings win again and he reaches for the phone in a desperate attempt to heal his wounds with her voice in his ear.
Gryphon In Conflict...torn between then and now...She's praying that he'll step ahead, he's praying that the pain will end. They both need to be strong.
