There was a boy made of metal with a heart of glass
who thought he was invincible.
Every day
he lived recklessly with no regard for others.

There was a girl made of glass with a heart of metal
who knew she was fragile.
Every day
she was quiet and cautious and isolated herself.

One day by chance
the two met
and shortly thereafter they fell deeply in love.
The boy fell more and more in love,
while the girl felt her love for him dwindle
until she simply couldn't love him anymore.

The girl with the heart made of metal left the boy.

There is a boy made of metal with a heart of shattered glass
who knows he is broken.
Every day
he tries to tape his heart back together.

There is a girl made of glass with a heart of metal
who knows she can be fragile
Every day
she is a little happier and a little less alone.
