Title: A certain perspective Post by: steelwork on March 19, 2016, 10:11:15 AM I wanted to get this thought down before I lose it:
He made the love affair. It was his creation, really. We met and liked each other, and I'd have been content with a friendship, but he kept pressing and pressing until we were in love. Just more and more attention and adulation. He took who I was and distorted me and shaped me into a love idol he could worship. I'm not saying I was a victim, or that I was blameless, but his impulsiveness and intensity made it what it was. I was to be the one who understood him like no other, who was so extraordinary. He wanted to be the ordinary person to whom this great love had happened, and I was the rare treasure. But it was his creation. When he was done with it, he smashed it. I realize this is not the whole truth, but it's a significant truth that I have to consider now that it's occurred to me. Does anyone else feel this way?

I'm not blameless, but I SO get what you mean... This was a fiction created by him... And now I'm in a horror story (work wise) created by him too...
