Tender moments so brief and so few
Separated by lengthy passages of time
A romance hidden to others with reasonable doubt
Camouflaged by logic without reason or rhyme
Two parts of one whole daring not to ask for too much
Surviving on memories until they are reunited
With pain so intense that it hurts the heart
For the missed occasions and events to which they aren't invited
Both vow to cut the chord of apparent discontent
When alone and filled with grief and longing
As each must hate the intimacy of a love that transcends life itself
And feeds the soul with happiness and a sense of belonging
But together once more their souls do merge
Bringing forth both joy and sorrow
For despite the limited boundaries of their love
They will always look forward to tomorrow
