HIRO

Marry me, she said. And I said no. Again. When almost every single part of me except this one sliver of my heart wanted to say yes. I’ve dashed my hopes now. Thrown them like a sack of kittens off a bridge. They sink to the bottom of the silty harbor. They’re gone. She won’t ask me again. It’s how it should be, right? People like me aren’t supposed to get what they want.

Her heart holds me up. Her view of the future is intoxicating. But it’s a painting in an art gallery. I can’t touch it. I can only view it from afar while wondering what the artist was truly thinking. Kite is the artist, and I wish I could think the way she does.

A splash of her color crosses my vision. Playing children look up as I walk through the door. They run to me screaming, ‘Daddy,’ as I hang my hat. It’s a fantasy. It’s unreal. The world she talks about would have to start with people like us. And I’m not sure I’m ready for the pioneer life.

We’ve fought so hard just to get to this place.

And I’m tired of fighting.
