(memang) tak pernah bersua secara nyata


Explanation:
Dia tak pernah sempat memeluknya atau menciumnya karena memang tak pernah bersua (secara) nyata.

Just to maintain rhyme as the source text seems to be literary one. "He (Dia)" can be dropped to avoid repetition and replaced with another word ('memang' in my example) suggesting the real reason of them not having met.
