Sophie and Apollo. Apollo and Sophie. That's the way it had always been, and that was the way it always would be.

From when they were children, sitting by the pool in the hot summer heat, eating their favorite grape juice Popsicles. Seeing who could win by eating it first.

When they were in grade school, always waiting for each other at the flagpole every day to walk home. The weather didn't matter. Rain, snow, sleet. All that mattered was that they stuck together.

Peas in a pod.

Apollo shone bright with innocence and Sophie was sweet as honey. Sometimes Apollo snuck over and they shared an Oreo or two or maybe three, at midnight.

Your smile's forever in my mind and memory.

Sophie and Apollo. Apollo and Sophie.

Then onto high school, where each followed their own interests. But still kept a piece of their hearts just for each other.

The Oreo tradition continued. Midnight under the stars, gazing at them on the roof with a warm, worn out blanket. They all say young love is the best.

Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars.

Sophie and Apollo. Apollo and Sophie.

During college, they still stayed together. Both working hard to get a degree. Talking during lunch and baking cakes for birthdays. Each year, every year. Their company was enough. Walking back to the dorm and saying goodnight. Parting with a half of an Oreo in a hand.

Maybe we found love right where we are.

Sophie and Apollo. Apollo and Sophie.

Getting a jobs, Sophie an artist, Apollo an actor. Both loved to express creatively and both still took time off to have Popsicle eating competition when sweltering weather rolled around.

I know you will still love me the same

Retired, but not married yet, still enjoying being together, reliving all the memories they once had throughout their lifetime.

Tears fall when one passes on. Sophie goes first, and the bond is broken without even being made, but Apollo remembers that the love they had for one another cannot be broken, even in old age. Then, he moves on too. Into a better life, a couple days after Sophie does.

Sophie and Apollo. Apollo and Sophie.
