"You don't have to pretend with me" she said trying to hold her own tears in. He was hurting, she knew.

"No my love. I would rather stay away from you than to show you my dark side. See! This world says that guys are supposed to be strong. They are not supposed to shed tears, they are not supposed to fall. Don't you get it?" He carassed her cheek but his eyes couldn't meet hers because he knew that she will read every hidden story in them as eyes are the windows to our soul and the person who loves you can see you begging for help in them. His voice was barely audible.

"No! I would rather stand with you against the world than to let you keep hurting all by your own. I've known sadness, I've been through hell. Nothing could comfort me unless you came along. How can you expect me to run from your inner darkness, your stories of trials and wars of bravery? I don't care what the world thinks, for me you are not perfect but your flaws make me love you even more.

Not every guy is supposed to be strong. Its ok to fall, its ok to be scared, its ok to cry. I'm there and I'm not gonna give up on you. Don't hide" Her voice shivered as she got reminded of her own wars, the scars she got on her heart.

She couldn't see her beloved like this because she knew how hurting feels like. No one stood by her and she knew how it feels like to be left alone to fight so she decided to be his anchor and fight with him.

"I should be helping you instead of me being helpless. I'll destroy you!" He hung his head low as now few tears left his eye.

"You can't further destroy a person who is already at that stage. We can help eachother! We can do this together" She cupped his face in her trembling hands, her eyes shining with hope.

"How?" He asked hopelessly shutting his eyes.

"Darling! With love. Being loved by someone gives you strength. I can love you, you can love me back. I can be your night beauty, you can be my morning shine. I can be your fire to keep you warm, you can be my cool breeze to keep me calm. You got me, I got us!" she whispered and their eyes met and in that moment they sealed the promise and nobody could harm them ever as they both were broken but they were warriors and their love was their armour, they never lost, they won together.

Nothing is more comforting than getting your scars kissed by someone as your wounds are just cracks to fill them with love. Nothing is stronger than a broken person's love because when they love it gives complete solace.
