His compassion was over whelming for her.

Her heart was getting intertwined with the love he was bestowing upon her.
The mesh of affection he weaved around her heart made it breathe. And live.

He has her heart strings. And as he walks, she walks with him. — Geetansha Sood

and though the fault lines are full of darkness
we are held together by
the optimism and foolishness
of a single spark — Nadia Hasan
