Neither One Knew...

She tries to hold on,
But he keeps pushing her away.


She tries to explain to him,
But he won't give her the time of day.


She doesn't understand why,
& he doesn't want to say.


& they end up moving apart, in oppposite directions, one step at a time. He keeps his gaze to the ground & she keeps looking over her shoulder. But each step they take, the distance increases, the coldness sets in. He never looks back & she never looses hope.


But neither of them realizes...


He was too afraid to hold on.
She was too afraid to let go.
He didn't think he was able.
She thought he knew.
He didn't want to hurt her.
She never stopped crying.


...neither one knew.
      She was his miracle.
      He was her world.
