One Plus One Equals One

It was something like a spark
That set there souls on fire
With each other they new there could be heat
Not to mention an animalistic desire

They were cut from different cloth
Grew up on opposite sides of the street
Time and pain passed through there lives
All ready tied to someone is how they first met

Not ten sentences in the beginning 
He was having trouble trying not to stare
Withouts batting an eye she paid him no mind
Barely acknowledging he was there

Clocks and calendars kept moving
As did they
Both on the other side of their struggles               
To His chance what was he to say

They text back and forth
He flirted she while sat and sighed
Then nothing 
So more time went by

Then they started talking 
About life's beginning, middle and end
Neither  looking for love
Still they both could use a friend

Then there was butterflies 
They forgot these feelings even exist
So they both threw caution in the wind
Embracing each and some of the things they missed

Both so torn apart 
Maybe they could mend together
In a storm of emotions, they were lightening
Simply lace still needing leather

No cure for love, James. This story happens everyday and you have put it into a setting that one can easily understand without pointing a finger. Love will not be denied. Great write!
