I Never Let You Down

Being too tough in the end isn't a good thing.

He always thought there was no such thing as someone you were meant to lose. Anyone who left was just passing through.

He guarded a lonely city, unable to leave it himself and keeping everyone else out.

She thought she was slow to warm up,

because she was afraid of being let down. After all, every time she gave herself to someone, she gave everything.

Then she met him, and threw caution to the wind. She loved him, just like that!

that in matters of the heart, women who are too forward rarely get a happy ending.

They wait for the other to yield, and while they wait, they drift apart.

Even the coolest person can lose all dignity for love.

As time turned in its endless cycle,

they never let each other down.
