How time can make love grow
No matter how far apart you go
And all the things you do
Whenever we steal a moment or two
How pain seems somehow to mend
When we have reached the end
And have only ourselves once more
No one to blame, no one to scar

It’s such a sad thing which will never be
This connection between you and me
Why must I look in the mirror
And see myself getting unclearer
There’s got to be a reason or some rhyme
For my not being with you in time
But frozen and etched upon your brain
Echoing what might have been in every rain

There’s got to be some sort of place
For us to live face to face
Where we can be together
And not worry about the weather
And not a care in the world
Just you and me, a boy and girl
No one else needs to know
Nothing else matters in this place we go

It’s a way of making dreams deliverable
It’s the only way of making this life liveable

If you ever figure out the rhyme or reason, would you please let me know? I knew from the title I'd identify with this one all too painfully... but I'm still glad I read. *S* Well done!

cuz Im feeling every line of this one today
me thinks I should have "unrequited" tattooed
over my heart *S*
beautiful poem of longing PK
~~~~~~~~~~`

When to the sessions of sweet silent thought
I summon up remembrance of things past,
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste.
Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow,
For precious friends hid in death's dateless night,
And weep afresh love's long since canceled woe,
And moan the expense of many a vanished sight.
Then can I grieve at grievances foregone,
And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er
The sad account of forebemoanèd moan,
Which I new-pay as if not paid before.
    But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,
   All losses are restored and sorrows end.

      by  William Shakespeare

"Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold." ...
"So dawn goes down to day,
Nothing gold can stay."

yes, there must be a place, maybe it's a fantasy world of poetry where anything is possible!!!

Without the experiance of love where would we be? We would have no memories to cherish.
With love it brings hurt with hurt bittersweet memories.

Excellent write, PK...but these lines especially stood out to me...fantastic work here...love it!

to be with you...
I've tried to hide my passion,
but it's just no use...
piece by piece I lose it
when you walk in the room...
