Two Hearts

the sky darkens as clouds obscure the bright afternoon sunlight. somewhere in the distance, a tear falls, and a girl cradles her heart in her trembling hands. she had  vowed, in what seemed to be another lifetime, never to let it break again.

humanity walks by without notice.
elsewhere, not too far away, where rain has already poured and is preparing to saunter steadily towards its next destination, a boy faithfully mends his own broken heart. soon he will be ready to brave the possibilities again. at least he thinks so.

fate remains indifferent.

outside, a bird attempts to sing. a cat ponders the consequences of having nine lives, and a dog wonders if it is indeed man’s best friend. a best friend finds herself alone, and a writer weeps.

elsewhere, not too far away, where the clouds had parted and the bright afternoon sunlight shone with mercy, he asks himself: will i ever find her?

somewhere in the distance, where the rain poured mercilessly and gloom covered the city, she wonders sadly: will he ever see me?

apart, two hearts bleed. one broken by a love that found another. the other wishing to be found by the one that was broken.

but society is oblivious, so the world went on its way.
