I can't love you
because we're running
in opposite directions.
I can't love you
because everyone tells us
we won't make it.
I can't love you
because I'm stars and planets;
while you're trees and flowers.
I can't love you
because we breathe
in different elements.
I can't love you
because everything I love
gets ruined fatally.
But we love each other
despite our varying backgrounds
and unsupported systems.
And maybe our love
will bring us closer
or set us apart.
