Love Never Dies

Destiny brought us together. Destiny is pulling us apart. Can't we ever find a way to be together? Why does everything have to be so hard when love should be enough?

Didn't they tell us that all we needed was love? Why isn't it enough now?

Our whole love was one big struggle after struggle. Running, fighting, and yet unable to let go. Unable to find someone else, 'someone better suited' as everyone around us said.

They told us so many times that we were too young. That it wouldn't last, but we always knew better. A glance, a look, our shadows intertwined in the dark. It all mattered so much when we were together. We valued every moment, every sigh, and every word we spoke to each other.

Yet, there is no time and place for us for some reason. No one cares how much we love each other, how much we want to stay together. So, what should we do now? Should we live in a dream because love and happiness slip away from us in the waking world?

Who wants to live forever when you can't be by the one you love? When there is no chance for us, when everything is decided for us. What gives them the right to choose which path we would walk when our heart is the best guide to tell us the way? How can we ignore that perfect guide for other, lesser ones?

As I sit and think about the past years, I realize that the best time I had was with you. When I dared to love. It will always be the best time for me.

Forever.

Even though my life might end too soon, our love will live forever because I will love you, and you will love me even if we die. That's something they don't seem to understand. It's not young and foolish love, but the love of two soulmates who had found each other a bit earlier than expected by people and conventions.

They say that our love must die, that at our age, there is always another, rising from the ashes of the previous one, but they are wrong. Surely our hearts know better than the cool heads of those who have never seen true love.

You and I are the perfect symphony, the perfect melody. The power of our love will last forever. Don't listen to what they say, that the monster and an angel cannot be together but remember that to each other, we are not what they say we are but each other's other half.

No one is evil, and no one is pure. We are just us, and we are much better together.

We can have forever if we just let go of what they think we should be and be just two hearts that love each other. It doesn't matter if they judge us or if they curse us. Together we can sail through any storm.

Whose physical existence lasts forever anyway?

We don't need to be alive to be with each other. Our love will transcend life. And even if we die, we die together. United in this everlasting love.

When we first met... When we saw each other... We didn't know...We couldn't tell that this love would be like a fire forever burning in our hearts.

We ran. We fought. But we still didn't know that eternity was so long. That only our love could last longer.

A gentle touch, my fingers brushing against cold stones. Looking for you in the light and knowing I wouldn't find you there. You are the being of night, and I am the being of day. Let's meet every dawn, every twilight.

Who wants to live forever?

If you get burned by the sunlight, even if I get frozen by the darkness, it's still worth it. To see your pale face, your unnaturally beautiful eyes. How you look at me with endless love is enough to compensate for all the struggles, the pain.

You and I, me and you, we are one.

Forever will be.

Like night needs daylight, I need you. We are part of one whole, eternally bound together, no matter what.

Sadness engulfs my heart because all I want is to touch my lips to your lips, to love you forever. However, I know that in this world, there is nowhere we can go. Nowhere that we can hide to enjoy our love. For that reason, I'll meet you in the wind and touch you in the sea waves. No one can stop us there. When we are above the mere physical, above the individual. When we are one.

One life is not enough.

One time and place are not enough.

I want everything with you.

Destiny has played a trick on us, but why do we have to allow it to guide what we do, who we are, and with whom we will stay?

We create our own fate, and for good or bad, we know that our love will never end, even though our mortal flesh is bound to decay. You are bound to burn up to ashes, and I am bound to melt into the shadows, but that doesn't mean our love won't soar to its greatest heights. It will be a part of love in other people. It will live on in the physical world through them.

In the spiritual, it will live in everything that there ever was. We will be one with all the love in the world and what's more beautiful than that?
