It was late and dark
It was raining and cold
She was lonely
She was sad
He was heartbroken
He was alone
They finally met
On the walk home
They were both on the same side of the sidewalk
Life's sidewalk
Love's sidewalk
Once his eyes met hers
She walked closer to him
Tilted head and crossed arms
She glared at him
He returned her stares
They both knew each other's story
It had been the same one
They had no one to hold their hands
No one to walk beside them
Their hearts had been broken 
That same night
They had given up on love
Sworn never to love again
Until she stared into his deep blue eyes
Until he brushed her midnight hair with his hands
Until they held hands
And walked back home
Together
On the opposite side of the sidewalk
