Two Roads Diverged in a Yellow Wood...
"There's a time when a man needs to fight, and a time when he needs to accept that his destiny is lost, that the ship has sailed, and that only a fool would continue..."
     - Edward Bloom,

I hate the middle.  I've never considered my self to take a side, never opted to stand specifically for one philosophy or another, never chose to fight or continue.  Tonight was prom night and I'm a fucking wreck.  Two and a half years, for two and a half years I've done nothing but pine over Lightfeather.  The funniest part is that I remember dating all these other people, but none of them specifically stick out in my mind.  I've spent two and a half years trying to find the happiness that I once had with her.  Then I start thinking about it tonight.  I began to recall the two times that I went to prom, freshman and sophomore year.  I began to recall those I knew all dressed up, oozing with elegance, beauty and charm.  Then my mind, like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, hurls itself through time and space instantly arriving at the present.  I begin to imagine her; I begin to imagine her dress flowing about her like a satiny stream.  It's a royal blue, with ice blue sequins embellishing its fluidic hems.  The dress brings out her eyes, and accentuates the correlation of the curves in her face and body.  I begin to imagine her hair, worn up and styled in some fashion to match the sequins adorning the dress; I always thought that when it was down it hid her face.  I see her eyes, piercing, yet soothing; leaving one with the impression that they'd been run down by a sheet of satin.  I see love in those eyes, I see the beauty of her being and of the way she looks in that dress, though like the beauty of a rose or snow flake.  That love retreats just as the season in which these things exist does; leaving no evidence of their being, only the lingering memory of the ecstasy and splendor they once held.
I know that I've lost.  The fight came and went as I just stood there watching.  Yet there is a pale glimmer, like that of a single star in the night's sky.  A whispering voice on the wind telling me the fight isn't over, that I haven' missed it, it will soon rise again, that a hero will be called for and whether or not one rises to the occasion is in my meager hands.
"...The truth is, I've always been a fool."
