Caught Up

Can you tell me a story Uncle TG?
A story? Girl, you're twenty-one!
How come? You know I love 'em.
Fine. Only cause you're my favorite niece........ but its gonna be short...


On a midsummer night he meet her. Shook her hand, said hello, and it seemed as if she spoke to his soul. He saw the world in her eyes as is should be, serene, and in that moment in time he decided that world was what he wanted. So confident he was that he told his friend " I'm going to get her", and by night's end he had kept his word. The days he spent with her were some of the most joyous days he'd ever experienced. She was so radiant that he could never tire of her smile. So lovely, he would stay awake a little longer just to watch her sleep. A man couldn't be more in love, if love was still possible.
Yet that happiness was not destined to last. The fonder he became the further away she seemed. Nothing he did was ever enough. He every action was wrong. Sweet words were met with frowns ,as if his affection was too good to be true. His want of her insincere. They stopped understanding each other and whatever it was that they had faded away. Even now whenever he sees her he falls again. Torn in his mind and heart. Friends they are but wanting so much more. Caught up in a love that it seems only he feels ,and if not, one she hides well...


Uncle TG is that story true?

Only if there was a better ending. Goodnight.
