He who was left with only heartache after heartache built his walls high, making it impossible for anyone to get even halfway up the massive bricks. His hope for love was trampled upon by someone who couldn't see what a wonderful person they had come across, and threw their relationship with him away. After the walls went up, friends became rare, teachers didn't ask, parents didn't seem to notice the pain and suffering that overcame him. He had only himself to care at all. But his walls, placed around his heart, began reaching, growing higher and higher. Soon not even his trust nor love nor hope for himself could make it over these barriers. Everyone was shut out, including himself and the emotions he carried. All except for the pain from disappointment and the sadness that the pain held in it's grasp, the two working together, side by side. Still no one noticed, no one thought to ask, no one thought to speak a word. And no one did speak a word. Only a laugh escaped the lips of a girl. Small talk was only exchanged with him after the girl had released the giggle that she tried so hard to hold back. That is when things began to change, happiness began to re bloom for him. Those who knew of him and his walls held up strong would imagine him to be overpowered by a sinister lust that was once apparent in his eyes, that took the place of love he used to camouflage the pain, not wishing to allow anyone in. But the delicate way he feels over her every curve, every flaw, influenced by love, proves all who believe he cannot truly love or be loved wrong. With each touch of devotedness he bestowed unto this girl, and this girl unto him, the lust disappeared from his eyes along with the darkness that kept his green eyes from sparkling flawlessly as a tourmaline gem. This girl rediscovered the happiness that had been ripped away from him. To him, trust was just a distant idea that held no meaning to anyone anymore but all of this girls trust was placed in him along with which she gave him all of her love. This girl began to see something in him, she saw the love he had to give, his hopes he had to share, his trust that was being held within waiting to be put into someone who was worthy. The girl truly understood the sweetness of him, the handsome beauty and angelic traits that his demons were holding as hostages. She knew she could bring him the joy he so desperately longed for and she wanted nothing more than to allow him it. He recognized this girls persistence in loving his flaws, his mistakes, everything that made him up, bad or good. And for that, he let her In. And his happiness resurfaced and the joy was revived. And to this girl he has provided the most wonderful embraces and the most amazing acts of love she could ever ask for. His walls crumbled at this girls feet and she cherished the trust and hope he given to her. This girl will never betray him the way he has been betrayed before and she will never lose his love or trust. For if this happened, this girls world, her life would crumple and fall apart just as quickly as she knocked his walls down. He will love her always, and always will this girl love him. Under the toughness of his image, a girl discovered the most gentle kind of love. No one would have ever suspected he would admit to this girl she had stolen his heart, or trace upon the girls skin with sweet caresses of passion. But this girl changed everything for him, and he changed everything for her as well, making anything they choose to attempt together possible. -e.d.
