Her laugh was pleasing to the ear. When she smiled, you couldn't deny the feeling that you had finally won. She was honored by many, so it was hard to hate her. One thing that everybody loved the most, was her ambition.
Once she had made her list, there was nothing anyone could do or say, to blur her vision.
She had no intention of breaking, or bending the rules for anyone. But where everything seemed calm, the storm was near and it was deadly.
The only thing that she could decipher in this dangerous game was how it all started. It was a place where everyone went mostly to have a good time or to fool themselves that they could be someone different, even if it was just for a night.
That night, she went there being herself, which was the mistake that she took to her grave. What started as one bad date, and one intriguing debate, turned into a burning flame that no one could tame.
Never Would've Let Us Go not only tells a story, but the story lives. It's thrives off of pain, no room for reflection. No room for light. Just the empty souls, screaming for an eternity.

"Whatever yah talk 'bout sound like a fairy tale and mi nuh want yuh feel like me is a problem fi yuh fix," I stated, staring into her eyes. She frowned, deeply.

"Mi try talk to yuh, but if yuh nah go at least try to get help then mi nuh need fi deh here. Stay by yuhself since a that yuh fucking want." She turned and started walking away.

He was abandoned by his parents. Time and time again they let him down, not realizing that each time it was draining him. He isn't the most sentimental guy, probably one of the most nonchalant and controlling people you've ever met.
She was sweet and came from what people would call the perfect family. In a short time, she made him indecisive and question himself. Peeled away every armor he had shielding his insecurities. She broke him but stood by him while he rebuilt himself into a better man.
The man he always wanted to be.
The man he knew she deserved.
