Damon Salvatore is a vampire. He suffered more than anyone. His heart had been broken many and many times. His past transformed him. Made him stronger. And weaker in the same time. His heart makes him weak. Because he's crazy in love with the girl who destroys him more every day, every hour, every minute, every second. But he can't stop loving her. So, he escapes. But we can't escape during all our life. Love and death are strangely similar: when you're caught, it's finished. And Damon Salvatore knows that very well, better than anyone.
