The Unlikeliest Duo

Her

With long brown hair

Golden when caught by the sun

A smile that goes miles

That lights up the stage when she performs

Him

With curly black hair

Glasses

Brown eyes

Hard to reach

But not quite impossible

Hard to talk to

But listens well.

They didn't meet

Because they chose to.

They didn't need each other

Until they met each other

And then

Suddenly

They could not survive

By themselves

On their own

Because

Of 

Destiny

Or was it?

Was it really destiny?

Or was it 

Scrambled dice

Rolled around

Or a cat

Whacking a yarn ball

And it wasn't meant to happen at all?

Regardless

It HAPPENED

They met

Anyway

And they became

A duo

Just

Like

That

  • Dancing

    Two kids

    The song

    The beat

    The rhythm

    You know the rhythm, don't you?

    Pulling you up

    Pulling you to me

    Out there

    I know it's scary

    Couldn't we let go and not care

    Just for tonight?

  • Giddy

    Giddy is the exhilaration

    Thinking about you

    Getting excited

    For what, I don't know

    Counting down the days until I can see you again

    (Summer is hard)

    Reading love stories

    Listening to love songs

  • I cried

    I cried.

    I looked at the photos,

    The Polaroids,

    And I cried

    And cried

    And cried.

    I couldn't feel anything.

    My heart was bleeding

    And I couldn't feel it.

    I cried

    Emotionless
