บท 233: Two Centuries [1]

Time heals they say but then again, they also talked of once upon a time. Once upon a time in the lands of Alexei, in a time when love and life were the main things. Funny how that shit went around recently.

He lived like a lost man despite being so respected and treasured by the people of Alexei. They loved him, but the one he loved, she had gone. Each time they talked of her, he would always get up, because the memories were harsher than his truth at the moment.

He wanted a life with her.

He wanted to be with her, but it was always about time. It was always about when things got better. And so with each day that passed, with each minute, each second that could account for time, he hoped that time would make everything better, but what use was it?

Time, he was told time was a test of how strong love was, but it had been over a century, what the fuck was love testing? She had left and while he knew she wasn't coming back, he could hope.
