this is not a story

This is the story I didn’t write.

About a girl I barely knew.

I wouldn’t call her timid or skittish,

(I’m not that cruel)

or ephemeral

(I’m not that kind).

But I would call her interesting.

I would even call her beautiful.

If I were writing a story, I’d tell you that she didn’t like to kiss men with beards.

(but she kissed me)

I’d tell you she didn’t believe most men knew how to please a woman.

(but she was pleased)

This isn’t a story, so it doesn’t have an ending.

(but this is the end)

(or the start, I’m not sure)
