Prompt: Love story w/out happy ending

Today's writing prompt: Write a love story that does not really have a happy ending.

Prompt:
Write a love story that doesn’t have a happy ending.

Um, I think I’m living it.

But as the song says,

“I can’t make you love me if you won’t”.

I hear Bonnie Raitt’s voice in my head,

And remember seeing her when I was in high school

She was performing with a trio.

We broke the speed limit 

On the Mass Turnpike

To get home before midnight.

Good times.

The music,

No filters, no frills, 

Organic

Amazing.

Song interpretations

Gravelly

Smooth

vocals

Acoustic and

Slide

guitar.

I fell in love

With the music.

There is no ending,

Yet.

This love story will end, 

When the party is over,

Celebrating my life ,

With music.

And that isn’t a sad ending.

It might not be happy either.

Perhaps the better word is

Satisfying.
