A boy and a girl in the room sitting next to each other but miles apart.

Sitting contemplating what the other is thinking but not quite ready to hear out loud.

Across from them is a therapist, a lady unknown to either.

They are both afraid to let secrets spill from their lips.

They don’t know if they’re ready to handle it. They risk it all for a chance to move closer in their hearts.

Really they are a man and woman better yet a man and his wife but today it seems they’re not much more than strangers sitting thigh to thigh on the doctors couch.

Waiting, simply waiting, for a bridge to get back to each other.
