The Thorn — Husband

Love triumphed over everything, didn't it? With you, I felt the freedom I crave, even if it came at the cost of losing my family. But you became everything to me, my partner, my best friend, my heartbeat, the soul of my soul. But why is it that now, after all these years, I am nothing but a mirage, a ghost that you look past in search of your wife? Look at me, my love. Love me, before everything consumes and makes hell of heaven.

The Nightingale — Bestfriend

Cut from the same string that the Fates weave, we are the reflection of each other when we look into the mirror. Twin flame, sister souls, I pray that I meet you again and again in every lifetime. We share everything that weighs on our hearts and minds, yet the bond tightens with every whispered secret and tear shed. We met when we were young at school and together, we grew like the apple blossom tree at the back of the house I grew up in. Indeed, who is to say I am unloved when you exist, my dear.

The Storm — Unrequited

Once upon a time, I'd dreamt of yellow curtains in the house and the doors would open and you would walk in, take me upon your arms and all would be right in the world. Alas, it was indeed just a dream. I was a young girl when I met you and you were the knight in shining armor who would ride in on a white mare and steal me from the life I had at home. You know, I was convinced it be true one day but distance played foe far better than I expected. Lovers and madmen have such seething brains, such shaping fantasies, that apprehend more than cool reason ever comprehends.
