Dear You, We're Just Friends.

Worn out by her stark reality.
Love for her was everything that she yearned for.

Withered away by the skeletons of his past.
Love for him was nothing but a deal breaker.

And that is exactly what love did- it burnt and tore them apart. Afterall, weren't they supposed to be 'Just Friends'? After half a decade, when their fate is entwined again, nothing is same anymore.
Neither the circumstances. Nor them. But their differences.

He broke her heart once, but that didn't deter her from loving him with the shattered residue.
She crumbled his walls once, but that wasn't enough for him to let go of the demons gnawing his heart.

Afraid, insecure and broken, they fed on each other's soul to induce themselves with strength. In this battle of love, potent attractions and unrevealed secrets, it was only a matter of time, before one of them gave up.
Or even better, both gave in?

All's fair in love and war. But this, was a war against love.
