Love From Afar

Some people are in our lives

Meant to be loved from a distance

There's nothing wrong with that

It's just that we're too different

Or perhaps even too alike

Two north poles repelling each other

A couple of lone wolves mingling

A dog barking at its own reflection

The same blood runs through our veins

But we are not meant to know each other

We're just meant to co-exist 

On the same planet, but ignorant of the other

A colourful scaled fish roaming the seas

While a spider sits in its web in a barn

One wholly unaware of the other

But needing the other in some way

For earth to reach an equilibrium

Not everything is meant to be held forever

Some things are meant to be let go

Like the old school pencils at the bottom of the drawer

Or the Barbie dolls in the back of the closet


They're loved, but loved at a distance

Admired from afar
