(1) The Only Path To Happiness

Decades in a lonely town that seems to have more gravestones than citizens has aroused in me the desire to love someone with unconditional love. I don't think it was an accident that I saw her face, I don't believe it was mere chance that she discovered me or I discovered her, whichever the case may be. I feel like I've been tattered in the wind and tossed aside for years without end, and this poor girl has been a child too frightened to cry. Like an injured animal, I think she might yet hurt me without intent, but I've become resolved that all is forgiven before any sadness even falls. 2: 15AM 1-20-2017
