Magnets

She felt as though they were magnets,
Which seems relatively mundane,
Given the distance. 

Magnets at a distance - 
You know that in theory
They are drawn to each other,
That there is an attraction.
But at a distance,
That is all theory.
Theory.

But when you bring two magnets 
Close,
All of a sudden 
The attraction is real
Palpable,
Tangible.

The closer they are, 
The stronger the 
Tension.
Pull.
Draw.
Strength.

As two magnets
Get closer,
It is harder to keep
Them apart.

Get them close enough
And they will snap together,
Forcefully.

She felt like they were 
Magnets.
Pulled apart by 
Life
Struggles
Mistakes
And Life.

And she felt like
She wanted to 
Snap.

If only
For
A moment.
