"IN LOVE WITH NO ONE": #Fiftywords Story.
I'm standing here, watching you...
Smiling...
Why can't you love me, after all I've done?
No wonder they say:
"Through the lens we can't see real love"...
Even if she exists only on my mind:
How can I love a person that I've never met?

This resonates with such intense emotion in so few words. Amazing job!
Thank you so much!
Strong micro story right there @luiskrupaz Lots of emotions floating through the scene you conjured..
Thank you @ablaze, sadly it's a true story, a friend "in love with no one."
Perhaps easier to love the image than the real thing ;)
You're absolutely right! :)
This is lovely, @luiskrupaz. I like how you have written it in poetic form. It works very well that way. And the ending line is stunning.
One little suggestion for you: Change "trough" (which is something for animals to feed from) to "through" (meaning to look through a lens). :)
Hi @jayna, thank you so much for the suggestion, silly me lol.
Sometimes I tend to write very fast, you know, when you get the words flowing...
;)
Yes, in fact, I do know! :-)
I am surprised by how much time I spend on my 50-word stories. I am always looking for just the right words, since I have so few to work with.
Oh, and stay tuned. New prompt coming soon.
