Love didn’t know a name such as her — the beauty who haunted my dreams.

Every day I glimpsed her, it was like fire had ignited under my skin. I wanted nothing more than to be skin to skin with her, everywhere, happenstance be damned.

But fate had other plans indeed.

While I tried to hide my pining, there were seven gods who looked on — waiting for their chance too.

Men could be beasts. I tried not to be one myself.

But every time it was a struggle.

Love was a game, it’s true — but I hoped to win.

For keeps.

This is my third take on the 100 Story Challenge! Lyrics define these stories, and this piece‘s title was inspired by “Closer” from Ne-Yo.
