Her name is Love




You’re spinning. You're spinning so fast, almost as if you're floating. Your hair follows the wind, hitting your face hard. The faster you twirl, the more it stings. It begins to become more painful along the way.
Out of the corner of your eye, you see his familiar figure approaching you.
“Where are you going?” he asks.
You don't say anything as you stop spinning. Instead, you carefully watch his dark eyes pass through you. His mind wanders to the past, replaying every precious moment he spent with you. The Care and Comfort you gave him shines the brightest. The sun gives its laughter to him, and deepens the smile you once shared with him.
Slowly, you notice Fear darkening the edges of his memory. The light dims; the sun is covered by big, gray thundering clouds of Anger as the rain rampages its way through his body. Agony blackens his mind.
The darkness shrouds your eyes, and you no longer can see. Still, he desperately reaches out for you, searching. But you can't find him. You can no longer guide him.
“I’m lost,” he cries. His tight grasp catches your wrists. The pain pulsates through you.
“It hurts,” you whisper.
You picture his dark eyes looking at you. “I know,” he says just as quietly. You hear the softness in his voice. The image of him expands. You sketch out his familiar face and his familiar eyes. Your body remembers the lines of his body, and the warmth you felt when he held you close.
Blinking, your eyes readjust to the darkness. His eyes are drawn again. They're begging you not to leave yet. He’s telling you to stay a little longer.
Temptation is there, patient and waiting. You feel yourself lower your defenses slightly, ready to give in. But then you remember all the suffering you've caused him. You know Pain. You never wanted to give him Pain. It wasn't intentional.
Yet, you know you cannot take back the hurt you've given him. Only Time can heal, and Time could not begin his healing until you've gone away.
Your decision is made.
The pattering of the rain begins to slow. His grip on you loosens a bit. You take this opportunity to remove all chains binding the two of you. His face pales as you back away from him.
“I’ll be back,” you promise him.
He doesn’t hear you. Bitterness has already taken your place. She wraps her arms around his crumbling figure, giving you one last complacent smile before completely consuming him.
The rain has stopped, but the sky still hasn’t cleared yet.
Swallowing your sobs back, you reluctantly turn away from the empty past. With every step you take, you find it harder to hold the tears in. Sadness takes your hand and begins to twirl you again. The wind steals your tears away before Regret can make his move. You're following the wind again, floating.
And you understand your role.
You are meant to give light and Happiness to whomever you attach yourself to. In the end, however, Pain and heartbreak come along with you to ruin it all. You cannot break free from these kin.
You've learned that you cannot stay in one place for too long. You'd be shrouded and concealed in the face of Jealousy and Compromise. Your job is to move on. You must leave the mess you've left behind for another to clean up.
You sign your messes with your own familiar scribble. The world recognizes your neatly written signature. Wherever you go, wherever you end up; the people call your name. The crowd knows who you are; we know you are Love.
