A classical story

The story I am about to tell is in a way a very classical story. A love story. With a dramatic ending. We met on her birthday, the seventh of february. We lived together for about a hunderd days, three months, making love, enjoying life. We separated a month after we got married. The whole affair had taken less than six months. Seven, if the divorce is included.

It has been like a dream. Now, I must wake up, get on with my life. But it is difficult. I miss her. I can't forget, unless I understand. Why were we not able to build a normal life? What did I do wrong?

Writing the story is like an intellectual revenge. Emotionally, she has proven to be too strong for me, too lively, too unpredictable, too vulnerable. A poor revenge, indeed. But I can't do any better. She left me. What moved her was beyond me. Too complex and too dark.
