I want to be friends with her,

And I want to confide in her.

Because I know we can be ‘fast friends’!

But why am I hesitating?

I want to embrace her,

And I want to caress her.

Because I know she loves being loved!

But why am I finding it difficult?

I want to heal her wounds,

And I want to rejuvenate her weary spirit.

Because I know she yearns for care!

But why am I feeling incapable?

I want to be her strength,

And I want to lift her on my shoulders.

Because I know her dreams need a springboard!

But why are my legs shivering?

I know our partnership is indispensable,

I know we are voids without each other.

And if we are born to be eternal companions, 

Why are we an ocean apart?
