when shownu rushes to save the girl he loves, he was ready to wound and to fight. what he was not ready for was to find the girl he had only just seconds ago realised he loves, have her captor on his knees before her, his eyes filled with fear and her eyes filled with vengeance.

on finding a person exactly like you and on loving each other the way only people like you can.

shownu loves this girl since the first time he watches her nab a drug dealer from a mile away on her own. she threw him down (the dude was at least twice her size) and managed to do so with her hair still looking neat. that was the first time he thought about asking anyone out. because if a girl can hold down a man that size, there is nothing she couldn't do. and if there is one thing that brings shownu to his knees, it is a woman who can just that.

maybe sometimes love isn't keeping her close, maybe it is letting her leave when she wants to. maybe love isn't holding her to sleep but it is keeping it together when he wakes up alone. maybe love is realising that his happiness isn't hers.

he lived his life in shadows, constantly afraid of the light. then he met her, the embodiment of the sun. stars fell from her heels every step she took and she shone bright. burned like fire, light coming from every corner when she was around. and he decided for a fiery rose like her, he had to be a lion.

it is many years later and their body ache at the thought of each other. they were the people they first learn to love. maybe they still do. in their better years, drunk of the high of their youth, they promised to love each other forever. it is many years later, and maybe they still do.
