A Timely Love Story

Noon fell in love with midnight,
but they lived twelve hours apart.
They wanted to get together so bad
to discuss matters of the heart.

But every time midnight came around,
noon was fast asleep.
And when noon was ready to get together,
midnight's sleep was deep.

They could never figure out how to meet
to hug and to kiss and to talk,
till they realized they share the very same space
on the place called the face of a clock.
