I could not meet you
Too far away, we stretch
Longing for one another
But science would not
Let us fall in love
Earth refused to allow
More than one touch
To become one would be
To defy more than nature
And so we will sit, here
Waiting for those watching
To look away and forget us
So a forbidden romance
May grace our spirits
Hidden by our indifference
Seemingly so, but there
Is more than anyone will
Ever know in these hearts
That we so often have to
Ignore and neglect because
Of society and its players
In a game not made for us
We are actors in a world
Too fake to be named reality
Together, we look away
But yearn to turn around
And stare deeply into the sun
