Almost-love Stories
If my life was a fictional story,
I’d already be living my happily ever after.
As a real girl, however,
all I have are almost-love stories.
The best friend in high school who gave me
my first and only Valentine’s Day rose;
the boy I met on a camping trip
and turned out to have terminal cancer;
the boy who talked with me for hours,
then disappeared at the end of the summer;
the motorcycle driver who taught me
to love riding without holding on -- especially in the rain;
the boy who skipped two days of work
while I explored his city on vacation;
the flirt who asked for my number
along with that of every other female coworker I have.
All these almost-love stories
moved on without me as the leading character.
One of these days,
I’ll meet a boy who becomes my whole world,
and we’ll write an entire story together.
