Not Today

Young love is what they call it.
So pure and clear.
She loves him.
And he her.

Such a crazy thing.
Sucked into it like a tornado.
Swimming together in their delight.
Stripped down and raw.

Starting to forget.
Too many complications on his part.
Both drowning now.

She reaches out for him.
Urging him to cling on,
Creating a lifesaver.

He retreats.
She swims hard.
Against the pull,
The current.

No more she can do.
Yet she stills tries.

They were once so strong.
But now are too wrong.

Refusing to let go.
Refusing to hold on.

Two young souls.

Both trying to fuse together.
Both still forming themselves.

One day,
the world will be theirs.
