I believe a true drabble is exactly 100 words. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drabble

I don't participate in this community anymore because it's full of people who are all ego. Nobody really cares about good writing, they just want their egos stroked. So...ciao.

Since I'm re-establishing my non-existent rep after taking an incredibly long siesta from LJ, I'll give it a whack.

She was a small town girl in love with a big city guy. He knew nothing about her, but she knew all about him. She tried day in and day out to just get a hi from him. She stayed up all hours of the night. One night, her dream came true. He sent her an email. He asked for her number. He called her. They started dating and all the girls were jealous. They got married and had a family. Looking back, they wouldn't change a thing. Except maybe not realizing she was there so late. That's true love. Forever and always.

I don't want love inspired by mood. Commented on by bystanders. Moved entirely by emotion. Acknowledge entirely by actions. Dreamed about in chick flick dreams. I want a love where I know I deserve to feel like crap. Where I can't barely pull myself to accept it. Where I know He loves me through everything He does, or doesn't, or plans to do. Where my accepetance is unlimited to His irrational desire for me through sentiment. Where He can't stand but to do do what is good, regardless of what I think. Where His selflessness to me, is selfishness to Himself.
