When I woke up this morning I felt revived… Its funny how the feeling of victory can cause a paradigm shift.
My old view was that I had been neglected… passed over for another. See… it should have been us… Not them…
“King” and “littlegirl”… what a match…
So yea, King still calls once in a while and Copper is still weak for him… so she allows him back into her bed…but not into her heart… She knows better… Now when he prepares to leave, she does not feel the usual sting of tears forming in her eyes… She simply kisses him goodbye and smiles… She knows he may return to littlegirl for now, but her King will always come back for her…
Copper has her VICTORY…
You see… littlegirl thinks that she has the upper hand… she is with him…they are the ones in the conventional relationship… But King keeps running back to Copper every so often… If littlegirl was enough to keep his attention King would be satisfied and not need to fall into Copper’s arms to feel complete.
King will never be satisfied with one woman… Copper is wise enough to know that… but she gets her benefits without the pain… Since she has known King he has been with some woman or another in some sort of relationship… and in each relationship King has cheated on that woman with Copper…
In the past, there was nothing she wanted more than to have her own relationship with King…
With time comes wisdom… She now accepts that they have created their own form of togetherness…and that this form is the plateau… They will never go any higher than this odd combination of carnal attraction and fleeting affection… but just maybe that is exactly what they were meant to be to each other…
In this light, all time spent together is pleasure filled… they laugh and talk just like they had been together every day when in actuality it has usually been months…
They enjoy each other without the stress and distrust of real love…
Or…maybe… this is the purest and simplest form of love… Uncomplicated and free…
Copper

I think you introduce some really interesting ideas here. I get the sense that you aren't trying to make a claim about what love is, you're just proposing an alternate possibility. This makes me feel connected to the post in that I'm also in a place where I'm not sure exactly what love is. Like, I get your confusion. Also, the style of this piece is really beautiful. I like that its somewhere between poetry and prose. It flows nicely and is well-written. Thank you for sharing. :)
