"One day, I will stop falling in love with you Some day, someone will like me like I like you Until then, I'll drink my coffee, eat my pie Pretend that we are more than friends Then of course I'll let you break my heart again"

Laufey, 'Let You Break My Heart Again'. The perfect way to describe Gale's feelings. Soft, bittersweet, and...excruciatingly delicate.

Like a flower, his love bloomed, yet sprouts died off and fell to the damp soil still. His heart ached and throbbed in warm pain.
