she was distant yet complacent. almost like a wild flower swimming in the wind. far from home she was pleased in knowing that she didn’t have a home to go back to. how queer! how could someone be so happy in knowing that what was once their home is now a battlefield? or nothing left at all.

for years she loved you and yet she knew that loving you would cause pain. a tear in the fabric of your favorite flannel causes you pain. losing her didn’t. it was the right choice in the wrong mindset.

the time a part emphasized the indifference. and no matter if love stayed around it would eventually fade away. distant yet complacent. almost like a wild flower swimming in the wind.
