An Angel Kissed Me


She was always too hard on herself. I could tell you that she had other flaws, but she didn't, not really. They were all part of the total package. She would not have been the same without them. She would not have been her. That was important.It wasn't long ago that I met her, but I can't actually remember the event. It is lost in the fog of memory, as though it had always been so. That too, was important. A short time after I met her, she needed me, and I was not there. I don't know why. There were... complications, but that isn't really and excuse. There is no excuse. There cannot be. I went to see her. Perhaps it was to make up for my absence, perhaps it was for other reasons. We talked for a long time, and she bared her soul to me. I did what I could. We watched television, and later, we danced. And she kissed me. She apologized, but there was no need. I understood. That was not why I was there. I would not take advantage. We grew closer in the following weeks, and I learned much about her. And then something happened. I think it was my fault, but I don't remember the event too clearly. I regret that. We are still close, but things are different between us now. When I look in her eyes, I do not see the person that I once knew. I do not see the angel that kissed me. But I know she's in there.
