A Lesbian Fairy Tale
| Hot: |
I’d like to say that the story I’m about to tell you will end like a fairy tale should. I’d like to promise you that the good girl gets the girl, but she doesn’t. It’s just that I need to tell the story. I need others to read my words. I need someone to tell me it will be okay. Because right now it hurts. It hurts so much that I would rather tear my heart from my chest than ever love again.
Once upon a time there was a girl who believed in love. She fell easily and she fell hard. It wasn’t until she met an angel that she finally discovered what love truly was. On that fateful day that she met her angel every thing in her life changed. She saw herself differently. She saw herself through the angel’s eyes and for the first time in her life she saw someone she liked.
Each day for two years she and the angel talked. She could tell her angel any thing and every thing. In return the angel would tell her secrets about Heaven. She would tell her stories about watching sunsets from the clouds and having dinner in the ocean. The girl was amazed, envious, and hypnotized by the angels stories. She wanted nothing more than to watch the sunset with her angel and have tea under water.
After almost a thousand days the girl finally mustered the courage to tell her angel that she was in love. She was so nervous her voice cracked when she said the words.
Her angel looked at her with her dark brown eyes. The girl couldn’t take it any longer. Within all the months and hours of knowing the angel she had spilled her soul. She now felt that she would be nothing if the angel denied her. How would she live without the love of the only person she could give her truth to.
After what seemed like centuries the angel grabbed the girls hand and spoke. “It was never me that you loved. It was only the dream of me. Yes the sunsets are beautiful, but the storms are far more than you could ever handle. Sleeping in the treetops of the rainforests is breathtaking, but it never stops raining. There is a time and a million places for us, but it’s not now, and I’m afraid I can’t tell you when it will be.”
The girl dropped her head. She couldn’t help but feel like she just lost all that was good in her world. “So you never loved me?”
With tears in her eyes the angel spoke the last words she would ever speak to the girl. “I have always loved you and always will. I have fallen in love with every part of you. You have shown me what it means to be weak, strong, and truly alive. It’s just that my heart is not mine to give. My heart belongs to another. I can only hope that I will leave you with a love that you will never forget. I had hoped you would never say the words because I knew when you did I would have to go. I had hoped you wouldn’t fall because I would not be able to catch you when you did.”
That was the last time the girl would ever see her angel. She lives every day reminded of her in different ways. As in all fairy tales a lesson was learned. The girl would never give her heart away without knowing the person she gave it to would be able to care for it. She would never say I love you without knowing the person she gave it to would say it back. She would never again fall in love with an angel because she wasn’t good enough to be loved back.




















This is so very sad! Can’t the girl at least have one good romp with the angel?
On a more serious note, I hope that whatever inspired this story heals…
