My dear beloved, this was no easy task...

Before the extraordinary chance of crossing paths with you,
I thought myself to be firm and unmoving; detached from everything and far too difficult to please.
You shattered that delusion, and I was all too eager to embrace the spark you ignited within me.
Oh, it was just a simple thrill at first.
Something new and exciting.
I should've heeded the warnings... As vague as they were, they foretold all that would transpire. However, I harbor no regret. I'd dance that miserably captivating dance of ours a thousand times over.
Hand-in-hand. Gaze-to-gaze. Step-by-step. We shed tears on the center floor, whispering unanswered pleas and empty promises to one another.

Oh, I know it to be a pathetic existence. But a Firelord-at-heart knows what she desires, even if that very thing holds outward qualities opposite of my own fire-bred nation.
The true irony lies not in the flesh, but the soul sealed within.
Seems pursuing you is my unspoken calling..
Will the adrenaline of the hunt ever fade? My undying love for you bellows the answer.
You are my crippling pain, my fulfilling pride, and my tearjerking joy.
You help me to remember that I am indeed human regardless of how little I value.

I will not deny it.. You are a deadly substance that interacts with my DNA in bizarre ways. You are more harmful than good. I'll hurt for days indulging you, but I'll writhe and silently weep if you go missing.
It's the wisest decision. I know it to be true.
But I think I'd rather burn everything down instead of forfeiting you for all of eternity.
I've always shamelessly coddled you. What importance does my own sanity have, if I cannot have the one true thing that I desire?
I know you're bad for me; I'm no fool.
Neither am I strong enough to resist, however.

Once again, Angel - I'll make this fact known to you. Reducing me to such a state?

My dear beloved, this was no easy task.
