Miracle-Gro Works on Ninjas

They are both quite learned
in the lack of relevance
between connection and distance,
so he keeps her at arms length
even though she's across the nation.

Almost no one
could fall more in Love with a flower
than her
...except him.
And she's intuitively aware
that the same commercial
that she denied made her cry
brought him to tears too.
Lump in the throat...
Chills from the inside out.

He's not afraid
of what she won't be
if he looked too close.
He's afraid
that she will be exactly what he sees
from that far away.

So they breathe in rhythm
with the Universe,
while the world waits.
