So odd a pair, she and he. A duet in code and electron. Age and youth and cynicism and hope. He is quicker than her - more learned by far. But she. She is unafraid. Too young to know failure and the fear it brings. She takes him places he would not have explored by himself. She is catalyst. She is chaos. I can see why he loves her. Jay Kristoff
About This Quote

The term “she” refers to a female. The term “he” refers to a male. This poem is about how two people who are very different from each other fall in love with each other. The fact that they are in love is captured in the title with “she” being the female and “he” being the male.

The age difference between them is captured when she is referred to as “too young to know failure and the fear it brings.” This shows that she is younger than him, so this could mean many things, but one of them could be that she was very inexperienced when it came to love and relationships. The fact that he is quicker than her shows how much more intelligent and knowledgeable he is than her. She doesn’t really know anything and yet he knows everything and has done all these things he has done because of his intelligence and knowledge.

However, the fact that she does not fear failure and failure brings fear shows that she does not fear failure or failing because she knows that failure brings opportunity for learning and growth. She takes him places he would not have explored by himself, which could mean many things, but one of them could be that she helped him get over his fears and helped him become brave enough to go out there and explore the world to find what he wanted in life - meaning he discovered his passion while helping her to discover hers.
