The shortest love story

And they fell in love
Innocently, purely
With the best of intentions
Swept away by feelings
Too strong to ignore

But despite their hearts' desires
They weren't free
The timing was off
The world kept them apart

And it hurt them both
To find something that's so perfect
And to have to give it up

And they missed each other
In small moments and deep within their souls
All the rest of their days
Whether they let on, or not.
