Tangent Lives

We are indeed two parallel lines
That run in eternal agreement
Continuously our course defines
A harmonious stand for our sentiments.

This united length of partnership
Runs side by side in platonic direction
Perpetual lines of enviable friendship
Will never be found in an intersection.

Fate may be kind, our lives may cross
Destinies in a future engagement
But at the moment, we are both at a loss
Our lives, our lines are just... tangent.
