They are close
in a way that we aren't

He speaks of stuff
She doesn't know
He read her thought
She does not speak
He does stuff
She does not expect

She offers advice
He does not follow
She guides his path
He does not take
She told him stuff
He didn't believe

They were entwined
They talked, and joked
and fell asleep.

Thus

They were close
in a way that they aren't
