we were no match for each other
incompatible, they said
different; it was very evident
but they didn’t know
they didn’t know even before they condemned
that we saw something in each other what we most craved for
he sought freedom, I desired safety
showed him a new world, and he held me on nights I craved love and safety
it was pure
in the silence that covered us on dusks, we would be one; free and in love
but we were also aware of the outside world
the little cracks of our mismatch would show on days we didn’t like each other as much
I knew I would hurt him, despite not meaning to
he was innocent, and so was I
after all, we were two young souls seeking to understand life through the other
we weren’t strong enough to hold on to the precious between us
in the end, it shattered never to be put back together as one
he loves me; he will always have a piece of my heart
maybe in another world, we make it
maybe it’s enough.
