If I could catch a golden fish
Like old man from the story
I'd ask him only for one wish
Not wealth, nor fame, nor glory.

I'd beg for chance to be with you
It's all I've ever wanted
A wish so simple and so true -
Your love - forever haunts me.

I know, impossible it seems
For you to ever notice
I shake, my heart forgets to beat
As I step into your office...

You smile, "How are you?"
I'm a mess, my mind goes blank, I wonder
So much I had to say to you...
Instead... "Fine, thanks" I mumble.

So little time I have with you
In contrary to your lover
Time flies, in only minutes few
I have to win you over!

But life is life and tales are tales
Not happening, stop wishing
I tell myself time and again
But still, I feel like fishing...

whatcha doing in this darkness baby
when you know love will set you free?
will you stay in the sea forever
Drowning there for all eternity? ~Live

Gone fishing... ... so incredibly easy to relate to. Is that why we're here? To 'go fishing' for somebody who barely knows we exist? I loved this poem. It was so true... ... thought provoking, also. Keep it up!  

Never give your heart away, it will always come back broken.

but it is the loss that shapes the image,
gathers the flowers weaves the garland."-
