He didn't know what tears were.
He didn't know what crying felt like.
He felt pain.
And pain was all he knew.
But he was happy.
He had his name.
She got everything she wanted.
She didn't know the word 'no.'
She was adored.
And she wasn't happy.
But happiness was all she wanted.
Nobody ever gave it to her.
They were friends.
They had grown up together.
They were so much alike.
And yet so different.
But so alike.
So very alike.
He sat alone.
He was popular.
He was feared.
He was followed.
But he preferred to be alone.
Because being alone was safe.
She gossiped.
She talked about everyone.
She talked about herself.
She could go for hours.
But the talk meant nothing.
Because she was empty inside.
They talked sometimes.
They knew everything about each other.
They were so much alike.
And yet so different.
But so alike.
So very alike.
His parents picked her.
Her parents worshiped his.
And the future was certain.
She was pretty enough.
He was near royalty.
And they were meant for each other.
His parents brought her presents.
Her parents were indebted.
And social order reigned.
She wore expensive dress robes.
He followed his father.
And the wind blew cold.
They adored the dungeons.
They the cold, damp rooms.
They were so much alike.
And yet so different.
But so alike.
So very alike.
He liked her company.
She adored his presence.
He saw her empathy.
She saw his soul.
And they were both happy.
In a hidden, secret way.
Because she was so very charming.
And he was charming too.
