Wrap your teeth around the pavement

M  A   E    A I talked to God to no avail Said, "If you won't save me, please don't waste my time." But that was love, wasn't it. Never convenient, never really appropriate. It did not care about circumstance or what might be good or right or proper. In truth, Maea had as little choice in this as he. She never chose him, he had appeared before her and left her more than she ever asked for, more than she ever wanted. What was she to do, smother it? Hide it away, pretend it wasn't there, wasn't real, and make a lie out of everything? Gods, she was sick of playing pretend. Of holding back, clinging to that rocky ledge and fear what was below. Sunjata had told her himself that it might not be so bad to let go. So in the end, she let herself fall. It was just unfortunate that he did not want to catch her. "Goodnight" she responded, very quietly. But he would hear her; he always did. "See you later." An answer to a question unasked. Then she was gone. ----- - FIN
