Boy meets girl girl acts coy boy acts distant they dance around each other playing their games playing their songs their music she would sing the songs he would write the words boy and girl become friends they hang out acting always as if they don't want anything more from the other to want another is viewed as weakness and they both want to appear strong so they don't worry anybody so they don't attract the predators like moths with faces on their wings they just want protection until they can take flight
Years pass they're fairly close years pass and they're still on the same level alcohol is introduced and they have brief moments flaring out in the mess of time where they catch a glimpse of what they want a long hug walking back with his arm around her shoulders dancing in a dark basement He's a coward at heart hidden beneath steel plated armor she's a cocoon waiting to become a butterfly maybe one day they'll get it together maybe one day
