I'm an old man I can admit that... but with age comes wisdom most would assume and with wisdom comes time and time sometimes causes love...

Love...

A long long time ago I had love... I was even going to have a family with her...

I once had a lover, her name?

Her name...

I thought it was beautiful, it stood for everything she was... everything she could be. Haha how she loathed the name, but somehow I got her to let me call her by it.

She was a gorgeous woman, everything I ever wanted was what she had and gave me.

How painful it was to watch her grow old and I couldn't have the satisfactory of growing with her, how painful it was to see her die... and how it hurt to hear her say her final goodbye.

Yes I have loved once... but that was a very very long time ago...

~^*^~

I was in a blue suit trying to stay as inauspicious as possible, but that's pretty hard when you're in a blue suit now isn't it?

She... she was in a beautiful honeydew yellow gown, the gown flowed and puffed slightly, it was plain and dull but she was absolutely stunning, most beautiful creature in there if you ask me.

She had this golden necklace she wore around her neck, never took it off. Except... no no that's off topic.

She had been dancing all night, and she decided to take a break and sat down by me, I'm not sure if it was by fate, my ugly blue suit, or the fact that I looked so lonely that made her want sit by me. But she did, and we had a lovely conversation.

Of course she was the one talking I was the one listening, but it felt good to talk to someone.

"Hello. Are you here alone?"

"Yes, I am indeed."

"Do you want some company?"

"No I couldn't possibly bother you go ahead have fun, I'll be fine on my own."

"Dance with me?" She stood her dress swiftly twirled around her. She extended her hand to me as she asked, I was surprised.

"Really? Me?"

You know out of all the lonely guys she could have picked, she chose me, and I guess that's saying something huh? Heh, I guess she found something in me I didn't know I had back then. She helped me see it and I am reminded of her everyday because of it... but I don't mind, I don't want to EVER forget her.

"You're only twenty-one once right? Better make the most of it!" She nodded, beaming as she made a smile cross my face.

"I guess you're right." I stood up and took her hand, she led the way. It was her twenty-first birthday that day...

Heh I had fun that night, more fun than I had in such a long time you know.

That was the first time I met her... we dance exactly one song before she was whisked away by her twin brother.

Now he was an interesting fellow... overprotective, violent when he wanted to be, gentle and soft whenever he liked. Horrible mood swings, but he tried his best, she never received an injury by his hand.

He didn't like me much... it was because he didn't trust me, but then again... he didn't like anyone close to his sister.

I couldn't blame him, didn't want to loose her... Life is short.
