Fierce and dangerous. He disguised his love with lust. His heart was not as cold as it seemed, nor as he claimed. He walked with a swagger. His eyes were sad and colorless, despite the green hues his girlfriend fell in love with. He never felt content with himself, no matter how many people admired his beauty. He was a black canvas in a museum often misunderstood and looked over. He was harsh and cold like a winter night, but craved a summer’s love. One person’s love was never enough, he craved everyone’s attention, but never dared to admit it. We were never meant to be, me and him, but we seemed to ignore our fate. My world was always crashing down as his was coming together. We both carried jealousy and selfishness in our hearts. We thought we were invincible, we thought we were everything. But, we were not anything. It was only him and I, never a we. I never realized the love he needed until I lost her. I lost him, and I lost him, but never could I lose him.
Until I met her. Soft and delicate. She was never afraid to show the world her heart. Her heart was made of gold, and everyone knew it, even if her humility said otherwise. She walked with grace. Her eyes were a variety of beautiful blues, the kind that girls like me fall in love with. She never felt content with herself, no matter how many people admired her beauty. She was a Van Gogh painting in a museum, often admired and appreciated. She was fragile and beautiful like a glass rose, but craved to be made of stone. Her own love never seemed to be enough, she craved the attention of a lover, but never dared to admit it. She knew she wasn’t meant to be on her own, but seemed to ignore her fate. Our worlds were both crashing down as we were both coming together. We both carried compassion and ambition in our hearts. We each thought we were alone, we figured having ourselves was enough. But we were not alone anymore. It was always a we, never a me and her. I never realized the love I deserved until I found her. I found her, and found her, but never can I lose her.
