Why do we bother with love if it never lasts?

It's a nice story trying to make it short. It's a love story. . . IT's why we bother with love even if it doesn't last.

This is a previous version of Why do we bother with love if it never lasts?.



                     I sat in the coffee shop before collage started. The sun was out, it was such a lovely day clear blue sky,  sun hitting the house's showing them in a new light, everything seemed happier. Tree's were rustling in the light breeze. Flowers in full bloom, during mid spring. The spring where everything seemed to spring to life.

                   I was being serived by the newest employee. He had beautiful deep blue eye's against his tan skin. His hair wasn't long nor was it short. It was in the prefect place in the middle. He was handsome, tall, he had a good build. He didn't seem like the type of guy who's looks menat everything. Although he looked clean cut and sensible. "Hello, what would you like?" His voice was delicate but still mantained the manly esence.

"Black coffee, with extra sugar please" I asked.

"Someone's got a sweet tooth" He stated joking yet it made me laugh oddly.

"Yeah, i guess i have"

                    He brought the coffee to my table, in a to go cup "How did you know?" I asked.

"Your bag, it's got the collage's name on it. You also look to young to be going to work or sitting in here for no reason"

"Spot on"

"by the way it's about ten o'clock"

"S**t I've got to leave, i'm supose to be there in half an hour." I started to stand up and chuck my bag over my shoulder.

"Hey, don't rush I'm starting there today, i can drive us both there" he smiled taking his apron off, then running back round the counter.

                      

                     We're at collage at the right time. We were in diferent classes. Over time we got to know each other. Really well. So well infact, when i came into the shop he already had my coffee ready for me, make hotter coffee in the winter. He'd even save his breaks for when i came in, so we'd talk even more weather it be about pointless or personal. As i got to know him more i got scared. I didn't want to be scared but I'd always think back to my parents and how their marriage, well failed. I'm scared of falling like my mother did. I'm terrified that all of my relationships will end like their's did. My father was such a careless man he didn't think of how what he did would effect my mother.

 

                    At this time it was eighteen  and a half, we'd known each other for about year. Everyday, it felt as if we've know each other for a life time. Even though we were still finding out about each other. What we liked, our interest. Every time I found out more about him it was like we were more compatible. We we're back to mid spring again, the sun shone like it did the first time we met. This could be a true bliss.

                      He took me to the beach. The water was a pale blue, like his eye's, as far as i could see. The sea was so calm under the mid afternoon sun. We sat on the warm golden sand, that's when he put his arm around me for the first time. His muscle's weren't massive but big enough to show you he was strong. Never mind the sun, the warmth of his body heated mine. He whispered in my ear "If you'll take me." :is words were so well chosen and sincere. He could melt hearts without trying. We sat by the water, until the late hours of the night. I started believe maybe this won't end. He had his arms around me tightly all that time. As the sun went down slowly and the reds, and purple began to show in the sky. He tangled his fingers into mine. He kissed me softly. Later that night we went back to his house, we curled up on his sofa. He was reluctant to let go of me. I feel asleep in his arms, our body's touching. This was an sweet embrace.

                      

                       Flash forward, and we're twenty-one. He knows all my secrets, know's why I am so scared, no not scared terrified. I'm still terrified after all this time. He tells me "we won't make your parent's mistake, your the best thing that's ever been mine" he tells me running his fingers through my hair as tear drops fall down my face.

"You know I'm just scared, i don't want to turn out like them, I don't want to lose us."

. That same year we moved in together carefree and so damn in love. Every time I see his face it's like I'm seeing him for the first time. He the one with key so he's the one who keeps my heart. I know if he got my heart it won't be broken, 'cause I trust with all of the heart that he holds. I remember that fight at two-thrity am everything was slipping right out of our hands, the screaming and shout it was all too much. So I ran out crying, and you followed me out into street. I was prepared for the goodbye because that's all I've ever know. Then to my surprise then you said "I'll never leave you alone, I remember how we felt sitting my the sea, I fell love, with careless man's careful daughter" he took a deep breath and I was ready to hear the worst "your the best thing that's ever been mine"

So far, I really like it! I'm not sure if you're going to be making any more changes, but I'll check back every once in a while to see how it's coming along. The detail and emotion you were shooting for came out really well!

They spoil every romance by trying to make it last forever.:)

Those who are faithful know only the trivial side of love; it is the faithless who know love's tragedies. xD

We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.

~SOUL LESS~

Silence. . . It's only the first draft this is one u want to add more detail and feeling to it's just that I need the baseline done first before I add because I want it to be more like the first paragraph with detail and emotion
