He watched her from across the room
breathing in her beauty and grace,
oh how he had longed to hold her
and dreamed she could fill his empty space.

He admired her from a distance
and desired her heart to share,
he wished that he could tell her
just how much it was that he cared.

He will never tell her these things
he'll continue his journey all alone,
within his shattered heart he feels
she'd never want to be part of his home.

So he turned off all emotion, and strolled away
not turning to look back, he slowly walked out the door;
the smile she wore faded from rosey lips,
she thought that this would be the night...
oh she was so very sure.

Silent love is such a tragedy
when two hearts aren't made aware,
that the hidden desire of each
is the same as that of the other,
wanting to share.

If I have touched one heart through my words, then I have acheived my dream...

{revised 1-28-05, reposted for broken hearts and lost loves of men and women everywhere...}

Love has it's own time,
it's own season,
and it's own reasons
for coming and going.
You cannot bribe it
or coerce it
or reason it into staying.
If it chooses to leave,
from your heart
or the heart of a lover,
there is nothing you can do
and nothing you should do.
Be glad that it came to live
for a moment in your life.
If you keep your heart open,
it will surely come again.

tis better to speak and know than to wish and long, for a path never taken will never be known for its travel - it could lead to heaven

beautifully done

Wow, very clear description of stifled admiration and desire. Suffering in muted tones. Sigh. Liked the psalm afterward as well.

Love is a gift and immense blessing... but it's also a risk... a hope the one we share our heart with will respond to what we are.

To never take that risk, to never know such blessing... a tragedy, indeed. *S*

Lovely write, my friend!

It's writes like this, from such a sweet heart, that break this tragic cycle.
