Underneath the bright sherry night sky, Where the stars shined brightly,

Amongst the different variations of trees,

There was a flower field on one side,

And

A cliff on the other side

There was a young girl,

Who had long black silky hair,

Who had soft pale skin,

Who stood out alone in the field of flowers,

Wearing a bright red summer dress,

Watching the flower petals play with each other every time the wind blew,

Waiting for her special person to pull her away,

Away from the terrifying world

There was a young boy,

Who had short brown silky hair,

Who had peach color skin,

Who stood at the edge of the cliff,

Wearing a dark blue summer shirt and tan shorts,

Watching the ocean waves play with each other,

Wondering when he might meet his other half who would make him smile,

Smile rather suffer alone in this terrifying world

Little did the girl, or the boy know that

Both were waiting for each other

How would either know when they were on opposite ends of the forest?

How would either know that they were perfect for each other?

It was like mixing water and oil

It was like trying to make the north and south meet

It was like making the sun and the moon meet

Impossible but yet possible

Just needed a push

a twist in reality

a magical moment for them to meet

The young girl became tired of watching the flower petals play,

The young boy became tired of watching the ocean waves play,

The young girl wanted to explore the other side,

She could smell the cool ocean scents from the breeze that came from that direction

The young boy wanted to explore the other side,

He could smell the pretty flower scents from the breeze that came from that direction

The young girl went east toward the ocean

The young boy went west toward the flower field

After some time, walking in the direction of their choice,

The young girl heard footsteps coming in her direction,

The young boy heard footsteps coming in his direction,

After a brief moment,

Girl met boy,

Eyes met eyes,

Shy smile met shy smile,

Neither knew the other

But yet

Something felt familiar

It seemed as if they knew each other

Who knew that?

Water might meet oil one day

North might meet south one day

The sun might meet the moon one day

It was their curiosity that pulled them toward each other

It was their curiosity that became their gentle push

It was their curiosity that helped create a twist in their terrifying reality

It was their curiosity that created their magical moment

Their meeting

Their love-story

Their happiness
