He Said, She Said, Part II - The Arms of the Angels

He said,

"There is a fine line between love and illusion
A fine place to penetrate
The gap between actor and act
The lens between wishes and fact.

She said,

"Yes, the line between love and illusion
is almost as fine as
the gossamer wings of a butterfly
or a faery...
easy to penetrate
but impossible to repair.

"Is our act authentic or merely pretend?
Where is the truth of the illusion?

"Do our wishes not sometimes
even colour the facts,
if they are strong enough
for us to look through?

"Perhaps!"
