A/N: Inspired by Avril Lavinge's "Together". Awesome song. It's interesting though how she 'dissed' (as the YouTube vid title said; I haven't seen it yet) Kelly Clarkson yet you can hear some sort of Clarkson influence in her singing ;D And, if I remember right, Kelly sounds like Avril sometimes when she does this technique with her voice.

I know it's not right, since we're enemies, but this sense of vulnerability is both horrifying yet refreshing. When I'm with you, I don't feel right. I feel as though I've been stripped naked and poised before you. Yet I treasure this insecurity as if it were my sanity. Maybe it's because once you take me in your arms the wave of relief from my crumbling world washes over me.
You're dangerous. That may be why when you're not holding me and I'm just standing beside you that I feel that way. Because then I realize that I can hardly protect myself against you. I do fine for a while, but when the kicks start coming I'm through. I know you cherish what we have, and that you're sorry, but it's hard believing you sometimes when I don't know what you're going to do.
When I'm with you, I'm not together. My pieces fall apart; my limbs seem more alien than they usually do. Envy, you make me feel so horrible, yet you make me feel so happy. I love you and I hate myself for it. We're the opposite, you the soulless monster and I the emotional human. Yet when we're next to each other, we fit together like jigsaw pieces.
Together, we're either the long-term enemies, fighting to the death, or we're the lovers, who keep their love a secret from the world around us. Together, we're the broken ones, the ones who live perpendicular lives. Together, we don't feel right. Together, we're all alone. But together, I think we're the meaning of love.
