...
She looks beautiful.
But then, she always did look beautiful to him.
She's smiling. And it's breaking his stone cold dead heart all over again.
Because it's her battle through it smile.
Her grin and bear it armour.
And he wants to rip it all away and hold her while she sobs.
But he can't bear to break her like she's breaking him now.
Snapping him into tiny little pieces and tossing him into light to burn.
She's all sunshine and sparkles that blind you if you stare too hard.
He's all darkness and sharp corners that topple you if you take them too fast.
She's beautiful.
And he's so scared.
She smiles.
He tries. He really does.
But he can't look away.
And then their both toppling and burning and blinding.
Around the corner and into the sunshine.
Again.
