Wishful Thinking

He was shallow

She was deep

They danced together

But never understood 

What brought them close

He was impulsive

She was passionate

And for different reasons

They would get together

Till differences set them apart

She couldn't penetrate his soul

He couldn't see into her spirit 

So they kissed, they touched

And left each other alone

But always left hungry

Till one day, he grew courage

He let himself go into love

And fell into her completely

And immersed in her depth

He witnessed her burning heart

And she, overjoyed 

Was able to enjoy 

The simple confusion he lived in

Matching his troubles with hers

And accepting his simple philosophy 

And he was no longer 

Blinded by shallowness

When traveling inside her

And she was no longer

Worried by differences

They no longer lived bothered

By the hunger that inspired 

Their hearts to seek each other

To dance together

Time and time again

For what is true, what is real

Never dies, never fades

And restores peace

And attracts the beloved

Time and time again
