Sad Love

Boy meets girl.

Boy falls for girl.

Girl falls for boy.

Everything is going swimmingly.

They meet some challenges.

This stops them being together.

They get past these challenges.

They live happily ever after.

You’ve all heard that one before.

How about this one?

Boy meets girl.

Boy falls for girl.

Girl falls for boy.

Everything is going swimmingly.

So he thinks.

So she thinks.

They want to be together.

But their minds tell them otherwise.

They care for each other.

But their minds tell them otherwise.

They can’t be together.

Because their minds tell them so.

They sit awkwardly near each other.

They just want the voices to go.

But they’re too loud.

Why won’t the voices go?

Why can’t they be together?

Because the voices tell them so.
