His fingers brush through her hair

And his words camouflage the pain in her heart

He does not realize what he has initially done

She notices the comfort he gives her

They cannot be together just yet

To be separated should bring them closer

When the sun goes down they stare at the same sky

Each of their minds boggled by the events that brought them here

She tenderly touches the nape of his neck

And her words caress him all throughout the night

She does not realize what she has just begun

He cannot be without her
