She was the one in the shadows. The girl made of silence and whispers, the one who would not catch anyone's eye. The queen of herself - built on broken shards of a heart so heavy with no hope to let it float.

He was the one who lived above all, with his held head high, he was the quiet king in the shadows who roared when the world became to monotonous for his liking. Who had a heart that didn't exist - each fragment belonging to another and another, until they were all just gone forever.

And each day she would walk through the monotonous hallways of people and people and more people. Not one daring to talk to her - the girl forgotten by the ones who lived in a vivacious society of colors, and truths and lies and so much hurt.

And everyday, he walked through those very same hallways. 

The one's where she dissolved, he flew. 

Above and beyond. Up, up, up and away until he was away from the selfish monsters made of greed and sin that tried to devour his heart. But he, unlike the hidden queen was never forgotten, no matter how much he wished to be nothing more than a speck on wall far, far, far away.

But one day, as the  hidden queen was walking in the shadows - corporeal or real she did not know - but she felt a breeze. A smile. A look. A glance. A glimpse of the monster in the smoke above.

And one day, as the quiet king strode through his perceived heaven and hell - he felt a glance. A look. A mysterious questioning from the girl who burned bright as a star. And little did he know that her supernova - this icy queen's blast of stellar explosion - would be the death of his cold black heart.

This moment. This glimpse. This life changing event. 

This was the beginning...

... to their version of forever.
