OR IS IT?

If I gave you the world
With all its gold and treasure
It still would not compare
TO my love you cannot measure.

There is nothing that means more
Than feelings from the heart
The constant love I have for you
Whether together or apart.

The riches of the world can bring
A multitude of joys
Objects you may think you need
And things that are just toys.

But they cannot give to you
A tender loving touch
Or buy the words from one who cares
"I love you very much"

Everybody has their dreams
And I have my dream too
Heading up my list of wishes
Is to spend my life with you.

To fill the years that we have left
With joy and happiness
To give you love you've never known
But that's not enough, I guess.

We close our eyes, say this can't be
This isn't what I want
But, it will come back someday
To tease us and to haunt.

It's best to face it at the time
Don't put it on a shelf
Cause we're not fooling anyone
Especially not ourself.

My truth is, that I love you
I want you here with me
The painful part of it all
Is knowing it can't be.

I love those who yearn for the impossible - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

... you yearn so tenderly and intensely, dear Abe!

love
