A lost love

Soulmates- they were,
He came into her life as a breath of fresh air.
It was the start of a carefree affair.
Their love was deep, like a deep blue sea.
But soon the tides turned and one could see.
Their love was not meant to be.
He stayed aloof,
Saying it was for her own good.
He cared, but he never dared.
He did it for her, that's what he said.
Was it true? Or was he through?
What was the reason he let her depart?
No exchange of words, not a single touch.
Just a mere good bye
And souls were torn apart.
