We built something; it felt different.
What we found between us was difficult.


We wanted to establish a team,
something that felt unique.


We built a story, our story.
A mix of a thousand words.


To balance you is not easy,
and examining you is something not found,
but we will make it promising.


It was rigged at the end,
something not existing.
Nothing was fair.


We have to rewrite our story,
for Mr. and Mrs.
