I think I'll take my whiskey neat; Cassi pony - Devi - 03-16-2026
Once upon a time, he had given his heart over to another. He had given it freely and without any expectations other than to be loved in return.
She had loved him in return. They had loved fiercely and without restraint, the kind of love sonnets were written about. The kind of love that shifted the heavens.
But as happens too often, their moment had been fleeting. It only made sense. After all, the stars that burn the brightest are the first ones to fall. And fall their star did, leaving nothing in the sky but velveteen black where once something beautiful had been. That had been years ago, and though the memories have faded some the sting still remains, firmly settled in the place where his heart had been.
He doesn't know why he returns, or even how long ago he had left. Something about home called to him though. A tingling at first that quickly became a bone-deep ache and a tightness in his chest. It was impossible to ignore and he was too tired to fight it, so he set about that familiar path to the place he was born. He recognizes no one, nor does he expect to. Even when this place had been the only thing he knew, his eyes were only for her, and she is long gone.
She took his love when she left, but she saw fit to leave his life alone. Small blessing indeed, if one could even consider it a blessing.
