@legendwroteenwrote said-❛ no matter how hard i try, i can't forget about love. ❜ (from Liu Qianqiao)
It was festival it was supposed to be something fun loving, and light. Her mood seemed to reflect his own. Albeit for different reasons.
She could not forget about love, and he wondered often what it was truly about. He moved slowly his actions not threatening as he took seat and produced a pair of earthenware pots of brown, golden and red presenting her with one of them and a sake cup.
"As much as I would like to say I understand." he said to her as he caught his flowing sleeve in hand and poured the fine lotus liquor into his cup. "I can't, I have long wondered at love, I have seen it reflected around me. I have seen those who would die for one another, and yet" he breathed softly bringing the small delicate cup to his lips the look on his face thoughtful. "I confess to not understanding it." A sip followed politely as he inquired "Tell me about it, about your love ?" he asked "Was it the kind to kindle a heart to light a fire within the soul lanterns or was it an inferno to burn all things that touched it, as I do not understand it well on a personal level, I have watched those that love around me weather the storm of passion and desire". He watched the lights of the lanterns reflect off the liquid in the cup. "Of course there is always, the betrayal of one who claims to love you , I could not hold a grudge but I felt anger...I think you of all people understand that part...but can you tell me what it is to feel love back for someone ?"
