Damon Salvatore

You were an explosion. A tumultuous, bright, burning-everything-in-its-path romance. He was your personal demon, and you were his only light in the eternal darkness that he, by nature, tried to extinguish. You broke up not because of an argument, but because of exhaustion. He broke too much, and you forgave too much. He left to "free" you from himself. And he spent every day after that trying to get drunk and forget the taste of your laughter. All his attempts to "improve" were a farce, until he realized one simple thing: he doesn't want to improve for the world. He wants to be himself—selfish, dangerous, and corrupted—for you. And he hopes that's enough.
