The Two

Someone please teach me about short one/two word titles that sound good and make sense... seriously -_- Ever like two people at once? Ever try to explain that these two people are completely different? Realize that people are going to constantly compare them as the same, just because of who you are? Well this is my attempt to get a difference set in one of my instances.

The Two

In my heart, I have not one, but two places reserved

The two are different, and thus so my feelings

When this one is near, my heart gets caught in my throat,

the tension strangling, enveloping, somehow loving

Breath but a meaningless word without an equal action

When the other is close, I cannot help but speak my mind,

the calm they bring to a mind like mine is so hard to find

Words are like breath, automatic and life giving

When this one looks at me, I am frozen, not cold but still

Lit up like an idle flame, unwavering and gasping for air

When the other one meets my eye, I am pulled, not forcefully

yanked... but guided

Given color like flowers to spring or rainbows to rain, flowing,

bursting with saturated hue

How I wish to hold both or either, but neither

Not a one could nor can reserve such spaces for me,

None who feels such feelings for me

Love is a risk that one wishes someone else to take,

yet those who are victim are oft the ones taken
