Unravelling: Love

What do you think love looks like?

Some say that it's the feeling of butterflies dancing in your stomach. Meanwhile, others say that it gives you the freedom to love yourself. People commending that one word as if it's the most magnificent gift to mankind.

To Amity, her lover, Luz is one like a goddess who deserves to be worshipped endlessly. Both being too drunk in affection failed to realise that freedom comes with deceit. For as the vows were sealed, love seems to have a different meaning.

All Amity ever wanted is to have Luz close. She wants her right next to her as if she's reserved for her and her only. She wants to bask Luz in Cupid's light, showering every single fibre of love she could onto her.

Luz didn't want that. Instead, she wants to dance freely to life's rhythm and not to sit still under the reserved light. Every step closer towards Luz is a step further from Amity. Both drifting further and further apart with each passing second.

Every desperate attempt she makes at reaching out to Luz causes an even bigger drift between them. The moment she finally reaches the door is the moment Amity realises what had gone wrong. Her grip on Luz had been too strong causing bruises to scatter over her body. She didn't mean to hurt her beloved. No one had warned Amity that having too much love could be dangerous. Perhaps the chirping birds and dancing butterflies had actually been a warning but she was too naive to see that. She will have to be more careful next time.

I know that this is short cuz this is actually something I wrote for the mock test I had today.
I also know that I've been absent for some time now on both fics and I'm sorry for that. I haven't really been well lately.
There is a story in my draft that is somewhat similar to this but it's way longer... like reallllyyyy long and possibly the longest one shot I've ever written so I hope that once I've slip that into this one shot book then my absence will be forgiven.

Hope you have a good day!
