Here is the tale for the people who believe hope never existed and every human being is delusional.
Here is the tale for the people who have never actually loved someone truly and wholly.
She was nothing, but a young, spritely thing. All full of happiness and courage.
He was nothing, but an orphaned, abandoned child. All full of hurt and anger.
And she longed to adventure past the borders of her garden.
And he longed to escape the tragedy of his childhood.
So, she ran away.
So, he ran away.
She ran as far as the eye could see, then a little father than that.
He ran as fast as his legs could carry him, then a little faster than that.
And she hoped that one day she would find something interesting.
And he hoped that he would be carried away to any destination.
Because her life was boring and all too perfect.
Because his life was a wreck and all too messed up.
That was the day, she met him.
That was the day, he met her.
And she fell head over heels the moment she ran away into his arms.
And he fell head over heels the moment he realized people in the world actually care.
She danced and twirled and showed him the ways of society.
He stumbled and fell and showed her how to get to her feet again.
And she was dazzled and amazed with this chronic lust.
And he was a deer stuck in headlights with this beautiful creature.
Stunned and crazed, the days moved by.
Bewildered and confused, the days moved by.
She turned years and days older with him.
He turned years and days older with her.
And she thought he was perfect.
And he thought she was perfect.
Then, he did what she could only have nightmares about.
Then, she did what he could only have nightmares about.
He told her about how the world was a mess and she was too happy.
She left him alone on that dark and dreary day without a tender word spoken of love.
But the boy she fell in love with came out of this stupor and she returned to him.
But the girl he fell in love with came back with words of love and lust and he showed her hope.
And she was positive he was perfect.
And he was positive she was perfect.
So, she was asked a question.
So, he asked her a question.
She brought something new and blue.
He brought something old and borrowed.
She brought her perspective on life and all his sorrows.
He brought his tarnished past and the hope she bestowed upon him.
And they wed.
And they live happily ever after.
