There she was, doing everything that she did everyday. Nothing too different from others but not too plain either.
Atleast... not to me.
She was the cause of rip in my body. Nobody noticed at first, I guess that was from being experienced in hiding your emotions daily.
Those eyes, they were filled with an entire cosmos that many could not see, for if one were to look at the sky during the day, they would not notice the universe waiting to have it's secrets laid out to that one faithful person that loved the sky so much that they were staring till nightfall, those eyes encaptured my entire being...
They were unexplored, scary yet somehow beautiful and filled with more wonders than many have the privilege and time to imagine.
But she had another.
Another explorer who, I don't know if by chance, happened upon that unending beauty.
It was at this point in my empty life that I had first felt true envy. Like an animal that was chained up and starved while another one ate of the most delectable delicacy, just out of the length of the chain.
I could not bear it.
I could not believe that fate would be so cruel.
That life would disappoint me to the extent that everything else to come could be nothing short of pure bliss.
I lost my mind.
My heart is nobody's and yet not even mine.
