>>83729909Holy shit.
I'm (probably) that random anon who told you to do it, and I loved every second of it.
The bittersweet feeling that coats the scenes is fantastic. It has the feeling that the Anon in the story knows the sun will never shine this bright ever again. They carry a hefty punch despite being so short and condensed.
It's easy to tell that this story comes from a genuine feeling, and some of the verses are frankly beautiful.
>You had prepared yourself for sadness, maybe anger, but not fear.>The hardest part for you to face is that some of those fantasies might have been possible.>Nothing you said would have changed anything.>because i knew i would have said yes>If this pain was all that was waiting for you at the end, then maybe you shouldn’t have gotten attached.I'm a sucker for bleak, unfullfilling endings, and I wish this stung me harder than it did, with Anon reaching the terminal and realizing he just ran a fool's errand, but I do get that you're coping with the pain yourself. Then again, these sappy endings often give me a different kind of pain that just enhances the experience.
I'll also blogpost for a short bit and say that this story found me at a messy time, and that it touched me in a way that I was waiting to feel, if that makes sense. It's such a genuine, straightforward little story that it reminds me why I love this general so much.
Thank you for writing this Anon, you have no idea how much I loved it.
