At times I wish these two were of the same kind. Perhaps not the same species, but at the least able to stay together without instinct and the cruel reality of their differences creating a wall that will always be there in some form. They're so innocently affectionate and seeing them apart really makes me sad.
But maybe if they were like that, then they would've never been drawn to each other, and there is a beauty in the fact that they have their own special relationship. It does hurt me each time the gulf between them is brought to the forefront, but the happiness between them that bridges the gap is maybe what is truly wonderful...
