Vera:
God, how it hurts to be human.
I saw him. He saw me. My heart gave up.
"Guess what?" he'd tell me.
"What?" I'd say.
"I've got something that'll make you smile
today," he'd reply.
I fell. Hard.
But he was someone else's...
Could we pretend otherwise?


Wane:
God, how it pains to be a mortal.
I saw her. She saw me. My soul awakened.
"Did you know?" she'd tell me.
"What?" I'd say.
"Life's too short to not laugh," she'd reply.
I plummeted. Strongly.
But I belonged to someone else...
Could we pretend otherwise?
