I wonder what happens when

The light hugs the darkness

And the smile kisses the tears

Who melts into whom?

Does the darkness grow lighter

Does the light become dark?

Does the smile turn away the tears?

Or do the tears leave a mark?

And what happens when a person is in love

And the other is not quite so

Who decides whether it’ll reach an end?

Or it’ll be love forever for both?

I don’t see how these things mix

When opposites come to interact

From different ends of the city

And from far away points in the mind

To bring to each other

What the other has never seen

And become for each other

What they have otherwise never been.
