He and She

He was strong, capable, intelligent and respected.

She was smart, but weak and unnoticable.

He was skillful, quick-thinking.

She was hesitant, doubting her abilities.

He seeked power.

She seeked love.

He was emotionless.

She was caring.

He was the killer, cold-blooded in mind and body.

She was the healer, loving in mind and body.

He and She were complete opposites no matter what you'd say;

Except that He and She, were He and She.

If She was to stop to think,

Then He would wait for her. No matter how grudgingly He would.

If She was to crumble and cry,

Then He would lend her his shoulder. No matter how coldly He would.

If She was to scream in anger,

Then He would listen to her. No matter how loud and long it would be.

If she was in danger,

Then He would save her. No matter how he promised himself not to.

If She was to pour her heart out to him,

Then He would listen. No matter how badly it may sound, He gave her a reply.

A simple, indefinite "Thank You"

Because that was all his frozen heart would say without melting away.

Because that was all his cursed lips could breathe out in a whisper.

Because that was all She needed; and He knew it would be.

Because He knew that was all it took for the phrase "He then She" to be

"He and She".

I don't know what I was thinking about when I wrote this but it really sorta "popped" in my mind.

Short I know but lets not worry about the length –worried smile-
