"Darling so it goes...

Her life was mapped out from the moment she was conceived, her future written in notebooks and planners.  There was no way to function without feeling someone pull the strings, the ends always had a means.   In a sense, life was a game where the best players came out on top.  Exceptions did not exist.  Yet there he was, basically a non-player character, but somehow unique and intriguing.  Looking from the outside-in, there was nothing special about him.  From the inside-out, rose colored glasses gave her clarity and hope.

She would watch as others controlled him quietly.

(If only he knew what they were doing.)

She would watch him shine in an abyss of despair.  

(If only they knew they were losing.)

...some things are meant to be."
