Chasing the dragon, an agonizing fight,

Living in sin, a world without light.

I walked through the world, a ghost among men,

Convinced that I’d never taste freedom again.

Life felt like echoes in an empty hall,

A puzzle missing pieces, a 10 story fall.

Colors around me, muted and dark,

Until I met the girl with the gypsy heart.

Blind to the world, yet still, she could see,

Beyond all my flaws...

**Characters**:

1. **Evelyn (Eve)**: A middle-aged librarian with graying hair, always seen in sensible cardigans and round glasses. She believes that love is a fleeting illusion, a mere chemical reaction.

2. **Liam**: A young artist, disheveled and passionate. His paint-stained hands and wild curls give him an air of unpredictability. He's convinced that love is the very essence of existence.
