When he started to understand the world, she became his first wish.
When he was done knowing the world, she became his last wish.
But alas, she always wished for someone else.

Exquisitely managed,, down to pulsing cadence.
You employ perfect word usage, Mia, and you treat us to a sample every week.
Here you present Futility’s tragedy. She always was his universe, no matter whether “first” or “last,” yet thoughts of someone else made her soul rise.
How sad, particularly as we all have been there before.

This does happen from time to time. Our hearts don’t always beat at the same level.
I like these tiny tale. We can imagine a world behind.
Have a good day Mia
