Their social classes
were miles apart,
he was wealthy and free,
without a family to start.
Always on business,
always away,
she just dreamed of leaving
that place where she'd stay.

They met in a strange way,
on the same bus ride,
he to a fancy school,
she to work, she'd hide.

So different yet similar,
each hid their own plight,
one dedicated to study,
the other, in her fight.

She got on one stop later,
only him by the way,
the only seat available
was next to him that day.

His phone was the latest,
she couldn't watch TV,
wore old clothes from others,
she knew what could be.
She never complained,
knew it was the best,
the other was the answer,
to her lonely quest.

By chance they fell in love,
but society's cruel hand
condemns them to be apart,
a love they can't withstand.
