A Combination

He looked at her
with burning gaze
filled with awe
in a wondering state

It took a minute,
but not long did it take
before he realized
she was not a mistake

She's everything at once
a hell in the calm
the night of the sun
and a billion of none

She's a combination
of black and white,
yes and no,
wrong and right

Subtle and strong,
outgoing and shy,
broken and bold,
quiet and wild

but mostly - 
he thought so very last
she is a combination
of what he loves the most
and what he can never have

never did,
never will,
and perhaps
not in this lifetime

not tonight,
not in those eyes,
and definitely
not in this sad rhyme
