The Mortal Heart

“In the Light there is Dark, and in the Dark there is Light,”

Even if it killed her, she thought. Even if it broke her heart and took everyone she loved from her. Even if it’s all my fault, and that’s something I have to live with, every day of my life.

Except that I know what I lost, and I don’t want to lose it again. Not even for a minute.”

That’s how those two are whenever they’re together. Glowing like a string of lights on a Christmas tree. It almost makes you believe love can work out for a person.
