LJ Idol Week Ten - Was it the Blue Night, Gone Fragile

He finds me asleep amongst the fairy lights in my giant fleece onesie covered in leopard spots. Taking a place next to me on the bed, he gently strokes my hair until I stir. It's so late, it's past midnight. The stars through my windows exploded into life hours ago. It's hard to imagine anyone else existing in these woods, amongst the endless

It was a delight (and a relief!) to have some wonderfulness in the story... but then we find out who "he" is (!!!!!) Way to spin this with that tiny nuclear bomb waiting in the final paragraph! But also, it's like you're being coy because you didn't want us to know, and even your introduction of That Name was done in a way that tries to separate the person from the moment!

Still, your voice remains true and the story (and the pain) clearly isn't quite over yet.

Hehehe thank you :) I was being coy, but not because the person with me in the Eyrie was Alex, it was someone else, but I'll get to that part this week :)

Glad you found the courage to shut the door..and hope you turned the keys as well..waiting for the you to enter some other door..:)

[ohelectricshock]

Haha yes! Definitely did. It was certainly a defining moment in my life, and I'm so glad I went through with it.

This is such a rich tapestry of imagery and emotion... quite stirring.

Thank you so much :)

Beautiful yet heartbreakingly sad. Feels so familiar,,,,

[ohelectricshock]

Thanks very much! Yeah, I think this relationship was the most heartbreaking and this breakup the most intense I ever went through. This was my first real adult relationship and so I'm finding writing about it to be super cathartic as a process of forgiving both of us.

What a hard, hard thing to have to do.

Whoops did not mean to accidentally screen your comment, hahaha. That's what I get for using my ipad to perform LJ functions. Ahem, but yes, it was certainly one of if not the hardest thing I ever did. No regrets, however :)
