[ WP ] Tell me a story , any story , but you may only say what DID N'T happen . Good luck .

I did not meet her intentionally, did not seek to find her in that library of dusty tomes and cranky librarians. She was not particularly beautiful that night, though I doubted she ever looked beautiful. Still, my heart was not stolen by anyone else, did not flutter when I saw any other. We did not exchange a stare where sparks flared, nothing beyond that between friends. We did not walk too much, did not have too much of a conversation. 
 
 She did not try to hide her anxiety, her fears leaking from her like the stench of a skunk. She did not fear me. It was n't anything related to me, but it did not make me feel like she cared naught of me. 
 
 I did not offer her the comfort and solace she needed. My words were not gentle, and they were not the best of advice. I did not speak little and they were not the heavy and somber ones that needed to be spoken, that I needed to say to her. 
 
 
 She did not stay with me too long, did not continue walking with me. I did not expect her to, anyway. We did not exchange farewells, did not wish one another good luck or good day even as we parted ways. 
 
 My thoughts were not calm, they were not peaceful. I had n't said the words I really wanted to, those three delicate and beautiful and encapsulating words. They were not light words and their burden weighed upon the shoulders of nobody else. 
 
 I did n't stop my speaking enough. I had n't said anything.
