Reaching Eternally

There is a boy 

And there is a girl. 

Their love for each other 

Is so vast 

They would walk 

To the ends of the Earth 

For each other. 

But no matter how far they go,  

How hard they try, 

How much they love each other, 

They are destined to be apart. 

There is a boy 

And there is a girl. 

The boy reaches for the girl 

But the girl disappears, 

And the boy is left sitting alone. 

The girl sends letters to the boy 

But he never gets them. 

Not a single one. 

The boy calls out her name, 

But she never turns around, 

And disappears when he gets too close. 

The girl runs after the boy 

But every time, 

He runs faster. 

There is a boy 

And there is a girl. 

Wanting each other so badly 

That they start to see illusions. 

They start to f

                        a

                            l

                                l

They start to c ru m ble 

The illusions 

Are the only things 

Keeping them together.
