This Delicate Distance

Should he break the silence with the smacking of his lips and speak so confidently without a noticeable hesitation, it would please her greatly. He does know when to speak, she realizes he might--as she does--find the silence as a pleasant breath to encourage thought. Are their thoughts similar? Limitations are often her enemy and she faces them willingly always bending and destroying them, she sees them as a threat or infringement on an option she feels she rightfully deserves to have at her disposal. Little does she know that these limitations are present only to serve the purpose of keeping her sanity intact. Maybe if he reached out to her in the shadows of night while no one was around, she would gladly accept. If he reached out to touch her hand just now she wouldn't make a sound, unless in contempt, and smile as though this moment were complete. Just maybe he would take the risk and join her in the mass destruction of limitations and complete all of the moments in the days of a lifetime with her. Such strength and courage does not exist for a reason, just like how a love created by a girl altering time to be with her perfect man would set off the balance of nature and the overall precedent of relationships in society. No, this delicate distance must stay impenetrable. One can only dream.
