Poem 284: Six Years Between

There's six years in between them two
one is ten, the other four
there's wisdom found in years traversed
but love has opened doors
it's entered into hearts once closed
and as they've both been told
the six years in between them two
will seem small, when they're old

There's six years in between them two
and maybe one month more
they cannot love so young in age
but each other they adore
so as their age grows higher up
eighteen and twenty-four
the difference is no longer great
and hesitation stands no more

There's six years in between them two
"that's not too bad" some say
but suddenly one's life is many 
distances away.
Those six years in between them are
a rock wall to be climbed
the time and aged maturity
no longer remains fine.

There's six years in between them two
lovers they'll never be
but friendship stands when all else fades
making strong hearts from the weak.
