One Night And Gone

Last night

Us

entwined,
your hard biceps
holding fast
to my curves.

We shared the
secrets of ourselves.

I knew you.

Today we are strangers.

The sooner you go,
The happier I'll be.

That wasn't what I meant.




The prompt is 33 words followed by the following "That wasn't what I meant."
That wasn't what I meant.

    1. Yeah, it made me sad, too. Sometimes I wish that I had more happy endings in my head.

  2. The sooner you go..the happier I'll be.
    I LOVED that line. If only there was some way to make memories like that leave your heart too...right?

    nice job my friend. I really liked this one.

  8. Well-written piece showing feelings of returning lonliness after a brief encounter.

  9. Happy endings (the literary kind) are awesome and all, but the sad ones hit old nerves and bring back bittersweet memories. I like those best of all.
