She Will Be Real

She glides over the open field. He watches her pass from below. She has come to ask, but steals a thought to take when he said "no." But the thought does no good for this humanoid. For she is still unable to raise the void. All she wants is to have one thought. But still she will never be real. From the girl he takes it back. The thought he loves most is now back. Images of vast distance through space rush before him on the path he traced. He now hates what he has done. She should have this thought, just this one. He touches her hand and gives her thought. But still she will never be real. Her face so emotionless begins to shine. If she could cry this would be the time. With a gentle voice she said real smooth "a better thought one could not choose." And raising their heads they looked to the sky. In an instant he could die. Watching the stars raises the thought. But still she will never be real. Taking his hands, together they ascend while more and more thoughts to her he sends. Still looking high as they climb in the sky further and further up they fly. She looks at him and he looks at her and slowly they begin to fall to the earth. Him and her her only thought. But still she will never be real. Faster and faster they keep falling. She doesn't understand why they are falling. She looks to him and he is smiling. He touches her cheeks, she is crying. Closer and closer the ground is coming. Together to their death they are falling. Her and him his only thought. But still she will never be real.
