The Beholder

He.
Sees a beauty unmatched by the incandescent stars that bedazzle the midnight sky.
She.
Sees herself as a dull shell that once coveted something spectacular, but now ceases to contribute a shred of brilliance.
He.
Views himself as a misanthropic being, creating catacombs of chaos to detour hopeful acquaintances.
She.
Views meeting him as a solar eclipse. A rare and spectacular once in a lifetime occurrence. A vibrant four leaf clover.
He.
Enjoys every millisecond he spends with her. The duration he spends making her laugh.
She.
Finds herself in awe of how one singular person could make her heart feel comforted. How his eyes lie in a lacquer of deep and undying strength.
They.
Bound together by an eternal connection, punch through every quarrel. The days where their minds clash and either bring forth obstacles or bring forth wonder only tests their ability to grow.
They.
Are a pair of elms.
Strong.
Bold.
Full of life.
Always giving to the world around them.
Their branches may take some time to reach the full extent of their goals, but they stand by each other.
Always making it to the warmth of the sunlight that glazes the atmosphere.
