For every word I’ve said untrue Pray what I write will tell you true that I love you
He saw her from afar away
But knew it was to be nothing more than wishing for proximity
Then he saw her close among his friends
But he knew just seeing her was were it ends
But still he wished to talk to her and walk with her
But he never thought this could be
Until he was sitting close to her
His dreams came true when he spoke to you
But his talks with such beauty also bring sadness
Before, all he felt was just an attraction
To a beautiful sunrise who now makes him the flower
He has surrendered to her and her power
She is standing ten feet far above
A giant he dare not touch or kiss or love
For all of dreams might fall apart with one word from her tiny lips
Yet he wants nothing more than to have her love
And if ever he hurts her heart
Let him feel a thousand times the feeling for a thousand years
And if such hurt came to her that feels more tangible
I would end my life with pain, from the bite of serpents’ bane
Let it pierce my arm and the venom should fill my veins
And kill my blood and slay my mind
All this for one second of suffering or a minor sting upon her
This man has forever wanted simple things and yet now he wants such complexity
For in all the wonder of the world she has more splendors
And for all the sadness the world can bring she is all I can notice
Her glance is to me a caress from angels with light that shines heavenly songs of grace
I cannot think of her embrace
For I fear it would kill me
No man could ever sense such a feeling
A happiness that stretches time and all boundaries in this world
And If I were to hold her and feel such joy, I would die then a happy man
But it is so now that I feel in my heart a pain and sadness
One that can be so vast as to be in all
For as unbound my joy could feel my sadness can be greater
And in all the woe of all the world this should be the saddest
For a love so complete that I would give it away, will never be mine to give
And she so gave what I give to her, to another
And yet I should say that fate brought us together
Only now I think it was to give me sorrow
For in a few days I have found that my love for her will not end in the endless morrows
She might deny feelings I have for her
Such feelings I cannot speak in words
She has a he whom she loves so complete as to not give him away
And him her, but such is so, the way that love is done
Confusing as the universe and timeless as the one
But just say yes when the time comes I say to you
Do you love me too?

wow, talk about unrequited love
love that rips a heart apart
and yet?
you gift her a very real love...the heartbeat, the feelings, without demanding anything in return

Your words for her describe such longing, and love, very passionate.

do not be mute now
if you truly love this woman
tell her
our lives are too filled with regrets

what do you have to lose?

and welcome to the passion
