I know that I could love you- And you could love me, too. I sense it every single time, That I am close to you. My words just seem to resonate- I see it in your eyes… I sense it when our hands touch- But sadly realize… That this love of ours can never be- We’re star-crossed; there’s no doubt! You’re in a place I can’t get in- And only death can get you out. Forgive me for my dreaming- You join me every night… In dreams of love that cannot be- That vanish with the light. It may mean nothing to you- I have to doubt that’s true… Go to your grave, desiring me- I will live on... wanting you. |

The pain of watching, & knowing the love exists, but will only be shared on the other side. Brutal. |
