"for the chance to glow for just a little while"

Mirage

She is like a mirage so close but so elusive just out of your reach. Yet so near, her heartbeat wails with loneliness across the barren divide. The mountains are so steep and majestic her sounds echo in his ear for years. Long ago, the two met and fell deeply in love and through utter innocence, they gave away their love for trinkets of the day. Before they realized what they had lost, the magic had evaporated into thin air forever. Only once in a lifetime you meet that special one that lights up your passions for life. Many years have past and they still wonder if they met again if the magic would still be there. Now aging and somewhat bitter, the two are searching for each other again in a gallant attempt to stave away a lifetime of misery for the chance to glow for just little while wrapped in each others infinite love for each other that has never faded through the years. They hope to reach each other before they are no longer. What an amazing story it would be if at the end, they unleashed the passions of a lifetime for each other pent up in every lonely tear they ever shed.
