I could not meet you <br />Too far away, we stretch <br />Longing for one another <br />But science would not <br />Let us fall in love <br />Earth refused to allow <br />More than one touch <br />To become one would be <br />To defy more than nature <br />And so we will sit, here <br />Waiting for those watching <br />To look away and forget us <br />So a forbidden romance <br />May grace our spirits <br />Hidden by our indifference <br />Seemingly so, but there <br />Is more than anyone will <br />Ever know in these hearts <br />That we so often have to <br />Ignore and neglect because <br />Of society and its players <br />In a game not made for us <br />We are actors in a world <br />Too fake to be named reality <br />Together, we look away <br />But yearn to turn around <br />And stare deeply into the sun<br /><br />Stefanie Fontker<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/aurora-15/
