She

She was theoretically true.
 She was always like that.
 She was never rigid, stubborn
 But she was theoretically true.
 
 But when the actual test happened
 I found myself looking for her, inside me
 In dreams, in agony,  in painful realization
 I felt the more correct she was, the more damaging too
 
 The more righteous she was, the harder it became to reach her.
 
 And now…
 I am reading the open book of life
 And realizing once again…
 She was theoretically true.
