Bittersweet
The concept of you and I
happily together
is a beautifully woven paradox.
Both a blessing and a curse.
Full of conflicting ideas and loud words
that always transition back to
soft whispers and gentle fingertips.
Nonsensical in its entirety,
but worth the effort nonetheless.
Strong auras of admiration for each other
that float above the clouds like jellyfish,
yet the feelings of frustration always linger
deep down.
Forever friends and enemies,
as long as the sun shines bright,
until our bodies can no longer
press together any closer,
and until our hands
disconnect from each other.
