Never before had he felt love,

Never before had he a reason to grip tightly his gun,

He had always done this for fun- 

Until he found the one. 

 

She had short brown,

Beautiful auburn eyes,

And her skin was fair. 

He had dark brown eyes,

Jet black hair,

And he was pale. 

 

She wore shorts and sweatshirts,

He wore torn jeans and bracelets.

Opposites...

 

Never before had he had a reason to fight. 

His country never did anything but turn out his light. 

 

Navy Seals, 

He was programmed not to feel.

Taught to extract,

And steal,

Despite any distract-

Tions. 

He cut off his Emo-

Tions. 

 

Until he found the one.

Just a short story of a guy who had just been in the Navy Seals for fun.
