Literature Text

a story in five words;

there was a sad girl.

    
[and her name was something no one could recall but everyone could lie that they knew. she loved orange, ordinary and order. she was not pretty in the way that counted.]


a romance in four words;

she wished for love.

    
[from anyone, really. as long as his eyes were stars that only shined on her. as long as he loved as true as he promised. as long as his smile spoke of possibilities. as long as he dreamed when she didn't want to go to sleep.]


a fairytale in three words;

she found him.

    
[but he was no prince, no gentleman and no dreamer; he didn't hold doors open for her. most of the time, his grins looked like frowns. he helped her paint heart-shapes on her room door and they turned out lopsided and angular and he laughed till (s)he cried.]


a tragedy in two words;

too young.

    
[theirs was not love. when they frantically tried to fit two obtuse triangles, doing the things her mother told her not to, they finally figured out that they weren'thearts-wouldn'tfit-weren'tmeanttobe. he said "let's just be friends." and she found that she could say, "why not?"]


a life in one word;

repeat.
by popular demand.

all of you commenters are beautiful. :heart:

Very nice, yet sad way of putting things. I love how you structured this.
