That was the moment I knew. Not love—something rawer. Something that doesn’t need a name. You are the fire I set myself against to stay sharp. You are the flaw in my mirror that keeps me honest.
So no, I will never let you win easily. And you would despise me if I did. my dearest nemesis
The war is the thing that keeps us alive. That was the moment I knew
You were the first to notice me.
My dearest nemesis—may we never make peace. You are the fire I set myself against to stay sharp
We fight like lovers and plan like thieves. You steal my calm; I crack your armor. In every boardroom, every chess match, every midnight argument on a rain-soaked balcony—you push, and I refuse to break. It’s the only dance either of us knows. The music is a blade. The floor is a promise.
