They Believe...
Living on Separate Stars

Recalling their journey
since first they connected
Thinking how can it be?
THIS wasn't expected,
and she thought…
'I believed he needed me'
They were broken entities
when first they found each other.
They had suffered agonies and
sensed the pain within each other.
Wanting to console her and
her smile he wished to see.
He wanted to comfort her
and he thought…
'I believed she needed me'
The spin since then, he would decide
was likened to a coaster ride.
Too much emotion they had sighed,
yet from their love they didn't slide.
So much concerned her.
So much confused her.
But she struggled through it all
and she believed he needed her.
We're in this forever.
That's what they said to each other.
Yes, 'we're in this together'
they agreed
because they needed one another
His love for her grew stronger.
His life revolved for her.
Hopes and dreams for the future,
Yes, he was needing her.
He said that he loves her,
despite extreme emotion,
and his kindness never wavered
despite so much commotion.
So many prayers they said
while asking for relief.
So many tears they shed
while sharing agony.
Years were lost to tethers,
with only troubles, loss and pain.
Not one moment together
was making them insane.
No days for them, not a smile did they see,
They shared nothing together,
and yet they still believed…
Then came the loss and heartache.
They were needing to share
the grief and heartbreak,
but still they couldn't be together.
To pain they were tethered
in worlds opposite.
Though needing each other,
yet apart they still wept.
Alone and confined was their story
They could not hope for more.
Shackled to reality,
they needed hope to restored.
'I love you' texts were futile
just mocking words between them.
Theirs were hearts of fools,
thinking that relief would someday find them.
Their hope remained impaired
Not one day did fate permit them
and their lives are not yet shared.
So…
they go on waiting
and loving from afar
Is their fate sealed forever?
like they live on different stars.
Can their hope be rediscovered
if they still believe?
Will they ever see each other
as they still believe?
