And the truth is, I build walls for other's to break down. I want somebody to come in with a machine gun and blast a hole in them, rearranging my life forever. I am damaged at my best, and most likely dangerous at my worst. I've tried my hardest to guard myself from you, but the locks were broken by you, that I will admit.

Drink
At their wedding, Joe gave a speech. "Callie and Frank are my brother and sister. When I first met Callie, I hated her guts. In my mind, she was taking my brother away from me. But, really, she was opening a part of him up and giving him back to me. Even if she didn't give him back to me, now, I'd let them be. Why you ask? Because they are in love, the strongest bond that can exist between two beings of any kind or age. Their love is evident in the way they touch, play, talk. The way there are both willing to work towards a relationship. Because we all know, to have a relationship, both halves have to want it more than anything else ever, in their entire existence. And, for this true love, I would leave them alone. But that is not the case. They both love each other, and, today, a gained a part of my brother, and a sister. So, let's drink to Callie and Frank, shall we?"
Dust
Even many years later, as they were elderly and brittle, their love would not be covered in dust. For, each day, it would be shiny and new.
