Outgoing Concern

Once upon a time, there was a girl who pursued me wherever I went. Be it the gorges, mountains, oceans, and skies, she was always there, trying to catch up to me. She never left me whenever I went but I never paid attention to her. She was always weaker than me and she was never a genius. What would I gain by paying attention to her?

And yet, no matter how much I denied and rejected her, she would always try to come back with the same desirous and gentle look in her eyes. I don't have the faintest idea what goes on in her head but she was always trying to get my attention. I could still remember when she would randomly challenge me to a duel, or she would show me her new skill. She had the fire element and she was extremely proficient at it... but still, she was leagues below me and I never perceived her in a romantic way.
