The two seas

In a movie,
the woman was only wishing to live in the tomorrow
the man was only living in the past

but the tomorrow said to the past
that it never proposed
for them to be married
united
in the present

in the quran,
“He has let loose the two seas (the salt water and the sweet) meeting together. Between them is a barrier which none of them can transgress” [ar-Rahmaan 55:19-20]

i always wondered at the two seas
today i felt the sweet one is the one turned towards the future
it is always sweet dream in the planning ahead
and the bitter is the past one cannot let go, for it is filled with regrets

yet, somehow the next translation as it is translated makes no sense
one has to find true meaning of the arabic word to get it

for the next verse gives the hint :

From both of them emerge pearl and coral.

That has to be the consequences of the marriage/melting of both seas 
it creates jewels in the present.
