Alice and Lara
Alice missed Lara.
It'd been almost a week since Lara had left. Things just weren't the same anymore - the air felt a little heavier, the bed a little less comfortable. The atmosphere inside the apartment had changed completely, leaving traces of before in Alice's memory. She was calm about it. Things change, sometimes for the better. Live, learn - move on. Everything reaches an end. One morning, after waking, the first thing Alice saw when she opened her eyes was the empty side of the bed next to her. Realizing she was alone, she began to cry. Things had started differently. Alice could remember the night in September when Lara drove them to the lake and kissed her for the first time. "Relax," Lara had said. Her lips were soft like her voice, gentle and smooth. Alice remembered how the metal of the car's hood felt against her back when Lara pressed her down onto it, her arms feeling their way down Lara's body, touching her, loving her, wanting her more. Everything about her was perfect. Lara played guitar and wrote a short song for Alice once - not an entire song even, but just a chorus that sounded so nice on its own. The flow of Lara's voice was so natural and beautiful that it made tears come to Alice's eyes. And she had been so happy the day that she came home from her job and found two emptied suitcases lying on the bed. It felt nice to have someone there, like a reassurance she hadn't felt before. Things had finally come together. Alice was glad. So why hadn't it lasted? Things fell to pieces. Logic told her that being reasonable was what she had to do, but it felt so much easier to just let go. Nothing had gone wrong, so why did Lara's emotions change? Isn't that how it worked? Alice didn't know. She knew in her mind that she wasn't seeing the entire picture clearly, but at the same time, she couldn't force herself to do so. It felt like Lara hadn't even been living there at all, except for one picture left on the nightstand beside the bed. Both of them were all smiles, laughing, in love. A drastic change from now, where Alice didn't even know Lara had gone. She liked to experience new things. "It's how we learn," Lara had told her with a smile, that same beautiful face that had kissed her so many times, the one she had woken up to each morning. But now, nothing. Alice felt cold. She'd open the windows to let light into the apartment but didn't turn on the lights. Shadows and silence seemed so fitting right then. As she cried, she couldn't remember exactly how Lara's voice sounded. Just an echo inside her head. Alice looked at the picture, blurred and gray through her tears. It wasn't howl she remembered them together. Distorted, out of sorts. Sometimes, there just isn't a happy ending. |

I will forget my dreams Nothing is what it seems I will effect you I will protect you From all the crazy schemes You traded in your wings For everything freedom brings You never left me You never let me See what this feeling means |
