rumours

rumour has it that ryan and beth started dating at the age of nineteen,
got engaged at the age of twenty-three,
got married at twenty-five,
and had their first (and only daughter)
at the age of thirty-one.
her name was elizabeth,
because they both thought
that only a queen could look ever so lovely.
the whole family
was ever so happy
because they never
starved themselves

hurt each other

or hurt themselves.

sometimes, the love you crave
might have been hidden under your nose all along.

rumour has it that zach met this

beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful girl

who loved photography almost as much

as she loved him.

she was radiant,

she was quirky,

she made everything else look dull

and nothing could ever be

compared to her.

they lived together in the suburbs

all alone

because their first born was ripped away from them

at the age of three months,

and they couldn't have babies anymore.

(but they still loved each other nonetheless.)

sometimes, the love you crave

isn't the first one you get.

rumour has it that rianne and vera
eloped, got married in new york,

and adopted a baby boy.
they named him theodore,

(ted for short because they could never get enough of hugging him)

but vera wasn't there to see his third birthday

because an awful disease had taken full control of her body.
(it was amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or als for short.)

ted grew up listening to rianne's stories

about how lovely she was

and how she fixed his momma

to be the strong woman she is today.

sometimes, the love you crave
simply doesn't last.

but hey, what do i know, right? these are just rumours that i've heard.
