one and two

tragically
once upon a time
two people
far away

one is missed
two is missed

forbidden
hidden away
in the dark

two sets of
three small words
repeated
over and over
to oneself

thinking of
the other
thinking of
the one
thinking of

the heart
the skin
the eyes
the face
the hands
the pain

of one
and two
not being together

still

in the dark
repeating
"I miss you"
"I love you"
forever

until

one and two
are together again.
