““They were alike, and yet they were totally opposite in the way they viewed the world. He viewed it as it was. It was a dark place, always holding itself into the shadows. She saw the beauty that no one else could ever have seen in the darkness. It was to be said that she both saved and destroyed him. She was the essence of him and yet she, beautiful sad eyed angel that she was, was also his destruction all at the same time. He could be a downright wretch of a man, yet she took it into herself, and never said a word, but to love him. It was the love that broke him.””
