He loves me without end,
and I am being unfaithful.
It happened Christmas Eve.
Ironically, I was shopping for a present for him.
The perfect thing;
something to show him how much I care for him;
how much I appreciate what he feels for me, does for me.
He is faithful.
I feel terrible, but I feel wonderful.
She was there in the store,
where I was absolutely not looking for her.
But, her eyes
her eyes
my favorite shade of green.
Softest hair, scented like herbs.
Zelda. Her name is Zelda.
One look, I knew I was gone.
I brought her home.
I couldn’t do anything else.
My friends sniff at her.
He looks so hurt when she is close to him.
I’m am sorry, but have no regret.
