Tragedy of a Hopeless Romantic

"True love." "Soulmates." "Love-at-first-sight." All things someone like Caleb Brooks believed in.
Not that tall. Not that Good-looking. Not that smart. He was someone some would refer to as "Undesirable."

But he had heart. A big-one. One which longed to love how he wished he was loved and treated. But that wasn't enough for some. Maybe all. He had gotten his heart broken countless times,but he still held onto the belief that someone out there was meant to be his.

And so,he tried and tried--again and again. But then he started slowing down. One such experience was the last straw. One so traumatic he shut down. Built walls so thick nothing could get through. When college came around,he talked to no-one or looked at anyone. He just concentrated on his studies and himself. But then, someone came along. Someone who was just as damaged as he was. But unlike him,they never lost hope.
