Boy Meets Girl (POEM)

Boy meets girl.
Auras reaching for each other.
Longing.  Out stretched warm caresses of truth, naked and bare.
His mate to her soul.
Hearts racing.
Confusion sets in.
He just wants to hold her,
She wishes she could kiss him.
Neither desire realized.
He never meant to break her heart.
She never meant to crumble his resolve.
Accidents due happen.
The pain sets in.  Truth, naked and bare.
Agony at the realization they can never be.
Steel resolve to move on, past it, forward.  Even at a crawl.
She often looks back, seeing him, not too far behind.
Auras reaching for each other, even now.
They know the truth, naked and bare.
Like an exposed nerve, it doesn't take much to send them reeling in pain.
Sorrow.  Inescapable, truth.  Naked and bare.
She can't stop hurting him, no matter how hard she tries.
He tries to hurt her, every chance he gets.  His protection.  His armor.
The loneliness without each other, almost too much to bare.
Cold.  Bitter.  Alone.  Hollow.  Abandoned.  Weeping inside. Truth, naked and bare.
She cries sometimes, thinking of how it could have been.  Never have been.
He jumps from woman to woman.  Searching for her stand in.
Both playing the parts they were given.  Handed out lines to be read each day.
A play that never ends.  Always pretending to be something they're not.
All.....because that boy met that girl.
