Their Soul Feelings Were All Balled Up

Her soul feelings for him are all balled up inside She cannot get out the words She does not run Yet she can hide Here he comes again The man she thought she had fantasized Yet here he is in the flesh, the man of her dreams That man His soul feelings for her are all twisted in a knot He dares not speak for he might be rebuffed He passes her gently Keeping his feelings inside They pass each other every day for years Neither speaking For they both have such fears When a "hello" is said at last, Eyes are rapidly averted away Neither staying to talk Neither staying to play That hello which could have been the start Was simply another barb To each of their hearts One finally could not tolerate it And moved away Without explanation They did not pass the next day.
