"So why'd we come here?"

I asked curiously

Wondering why she would

Invite me to her house

If our relationship

Was strictly platonic.

Rose smiled cunningly.

"Because I need to rant

And you probably need to rant too

So tell me your life story

And I'll tell you mine."

I gaped at her words

And took a deep breath

Before launching into my story.

"Well, I'm Michael Clifford

And I was born on--"

"No, not your life story

I mean your real story.

Who are you?

Who are you really?

Who do you want people to see you as?

What motivates you?

How do you feel?"

In the short time that I had known her

She had struck me as different

Not a bad different

But not necessarily a good different.

She was strange, odd

She had a different outlook on life

She was wise

She was like an old soul

Trapped in a young body.

"I am lonely.

I am sad.

I have done bad things.

I've indirectly killed someone

Which led to the metaphorical death of someone else

Another person who loved this girl

So much that he cried every night for her.

And being known as a killer

Of not only humans

But also the spirit

Made me change my ways.

Before I was a boy

Who cared for nothing but sex

But now I see the truth

That true love comes

Not from sexual affection

But from affection of the heart."

Rose stayed silent for a long time

Listening to my sudden confession.

I was suddenly aware

That she would probably judge me

And make me leave.

"Michael

You might have killed a girl

You might have killed a soul

But the one thing about love

Is that it is immortal

No matter how hard

You try to kill it."
