4. Made in Heaven
No-one could quite say
how two so different people could fall in love
But they didn't know her mischievous streak
or his serious undertone
or the little stone of coal in her heart
and the tint of regret in his
or the chisel in her hand
and the roughed up jewel in his
But that they made a perfect couple
could not be denied
and even those who wet the floor
beneath them with their tears
could not say otherwise
Because they really were a pair made in heaven
to rip those other hearts
who wanted him, or wanted her
or just wanted them apart.
But once they had jumped the hurdles together
and accepted their love,
there really was no way to break
them apart – because how many couples
in the end died together
Still in love?
