I look at you each day and know that you and I could never be.
But I'll think of you always and love you in a way that you can't see.
And when I think of your smile, I know it's all worth while,
'Cause in my mind I hold you close, and your lips sofly brush my cheeck.

Why can't it be like that?
Where you hold me in your arms and never let me go.
Why can't it be like that?
'Cause when I open my eyes, I'm forced to realize that I'm alone.

I see you turn to me in my mind and whisper, "I'll never leave, so, Baby, please don't cry."
And the thought almost makes me believe it's real,
Though I know it's something that you could never feel,
And I can't help wondering why.

Why can't it be like that?
Where you hold me in your arms and never let me go.
Why can't it be like that?
'Cause when I open my eyes, I'm forced to realize that I'm alone.

This was wondefully emotional.
Nicely written, keep them coming for us.

Heh.. this is about how I feel right about now. It's forbidden! But why the hell not? I feel your pain. The one I just posted 'Rabbit' is very similar to this poem. Thanks for posting this. I enjoyed reading it a lot.
