Margarita Karapanou, tr. by Karen Emmerich, Rien ne va plus

The best and worst thing that can ever happen to somebody is to fall in love. It’s the best thing in the world, until one day it isn’t. It’s beautiful and makes flowers bloom in your soul, and then one day the flowers die and you’re left an ugly mess. It’s good and then it’s not. I fell in love with you, and I gave you everything. Every part of me - the good, the bad, the pretty, and the ugly. I let you know the parts of me that I hid from even myself. I told you every story of every heartbreak I’d been through, I told you about the moments of my life where I had been happiest. I gave you my whole self, and you took all of it when you left. You were the best thing to ever happen to me, and then one day you were the worst. It’s funny to me, honestly, how one person can be so many things. They can be an angel and a demon, all at the same time. Beautiful and ugly, your life savor and the one who drowned you. Love is so amazing and so heartbreaking, all at once. It’s the rainstorm and the rainbow afterwards.
