they needed each other.
but they both had their own problems
and they needed each other for different reasons.
some of those reasons were reasonable. some were not. and those reasons that weren't reasonable, they later realized that. they tried fixing it to. but came up empty handed.
even empty handed without each other.
they didn't really need need each other.
but they were made for each other.
they just didn't realize that. until later in life.
