These Two Shells

Inspired by the shells on the seashore. 

These two shells

These two shells
May never know each other
They may remain so close
And yet never touch at all

Like two people
Who miss their chance at love
Wrong decisions in this life
Lead to souls that aren't quite fulfilled

But, romantic love 
Isn't the only reason for this life
We are here to learn and experience
Grow our souls to new heights

Like those two shells
Quietly sitting on the beach
The ocean comes by
And allows them to flow

Flow with the tides
Flow with the wildness around them
Flow with the breeze
Flow with life and eaze

And maybe one day
In a special moment
Those two shells
Might touch

And who knows
What could happen
For anything is possible
Like love; like life
