1 minute goes by

Minds apart

Bodies separated

So far, so close

Tiptoeing to shorten the distance

 


The speed of a sloth

“GO FASTER” “GO FASTER”

And the gap closes an inch

And yet, we are so apart

So far away

Like different countries

Yet we’re sitting at the same table

 


The lions were running wildly across the Sahara

Chasing each other through the grasslands

Frogs jumping off their lily pads

Into the deep, blue sea below

Dogs running after the butterflies

That fly so high above the ground

 


These objects going so fast

And our hearts becoming so much closer

Time stops

We stay

Our laughs combine into one fleeting sigh

Our smiles turn into one dark, infinite frown

The gentle breeze turns into dust

And the speed at which we were talking

Exceeds to nothing

 


We are nothing

Our hearts have broken apart

Two separate islands

Bonded by only a puddle of water

 


Yet time continues to pull us closer

And it dwindles, oh it so dwindles

He grabs her hand

The heat of the jungle

Of the water

The sky

 


It brings us together

Yet, time has stopped

It has ended

It’s over

 


Yet our pulse is still racing

At the same beat of a drum

 


It’s over

It has begun

A match made from heaven

 


Meeting point.
