she stared at him.
eyes rarely blinking, refusing to show even the slightest glint of light.
sitting there, emotionlessly telling him that love was pointless.
she believed that no matter how much two people may love each other,
it was only for the moment.
because people change with every journey the earth makes around the sun.
and soon enough, they aren’t the same people they’d met some years ago.
so they’d break up. 
and everything they’d risked, ends up being for nothing.
why should one waste their time on something as cruel and as selfish as love?
she looked him in the eyes, and told him that she’d rather stand on her own feet than fall in love.

and he stared at her.
taking in all of her disastrous beauty.
he wished he hadn’t heard the words that just escaped her lips.
because before, he was only standing over the cliff, toes dancing with the edge.
he knew very well that he should turn around and run as fast as he could.
but he didn’t.
he jumped, gravity taking over instantly as he fell for her.
screaming her name blissfully.
he didn’t care whether or not everything she’d just said was true.
she was the most terribly magnificent thing he’d ever laid eyes on.
and although she was completely heartless.
he had a heart.
and he didn’t hesiate. not one second.
as he willingly ripped it from his chest, surrendering it to her.
