Challenge
January Drabble: "Some would say your life was sad,
but you lived it anyway" lyrics challenge
Incorporating lyrics from the song, "Far Behind" by Candlebox, tell me a story in exactly 100 words. Stick enough of the lyrics in your drabble to make it obvious you're following the challenge goals, but you don't have to copy/paste big chunks. I'm curious to see what y'all can do with prose on a song lyric challenge; my last lyrical prompt generated some STELLAR stuff. Get after it! Winner selected by me sometime in early Feb, entries need to be written as prose following conventional spelling, punctuation, and grammar to be considered eligible for a win or honorable mention. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHi8bwGsaKE

Leaves Aside
We both know we shared something great, something real, and we can’t let our story end here. We’ve never been able to let each other go anyway. The past is far behind us now. You didn’t know you were breaking my heart, but you did. I didn’t mean to treat you so bad, but I did it anyway. I don’t want us to keep making the same mistakes. Tomorrow may hold a sense of fear, but maybe someday we could take our time to brush the leaves aside. Neither of us can leave this love far behind, so why try?
