Danger of the proximity

He saw and fell in love with her.
She saw and fell in love with him.
It is not the love at first sight either.
It is in mutual contacts in a given time.
They have crossed half their sex age.
Many have courted them in early stage.
Nevertheless, both engrossed in love
As though it was a maiden love,
As though each was unexplored.
Immediate flame shades the distant one.
Proximity does all the havoc.
