Couple

Like a continuous road, I see it everywhere.
On trees, at the beach, even around the neighborhood.
Their silence so deep that they share.
It was something that I had wanted, but could not grasp for long.

Like the sky so high and the oceans so deep,
They show the world how they are invincible.
That nothing can take them down.
What bravery they had that I don't comprehend with.

They haunt me everywhere, in every direction.
I can't run from it, no matter how I turn around.
It is spoken about, felt about, even seen from many eyes.
Everyone has felt it, everyone but me.

Because I still run, still hide.
But how long can it last until I am caught?
For someone who doesn't want to express it,
The images tempt me to try.

Now, as time is against me, I am cornered.
The moment I step in, it will eat me,
and I may not be able to return.
But will it end up good or bad for the rest of my life?

There are many names it can be called,
But none I want to say out loud.
How can I call it any other than that one simple word.
A "couple" it is called.
