Broken Dreams

a love that can never be...

A gentle spirit,
Understanding, kind,
Thoughtful, positive,
On my mind.

A little smile
With all you say,
Hard to breathe,
When cast my way.

Just your laughter
Melts my knees,
Just your touch
Sets me free.

If only, if only,
you could be mine,
Forever, together,
Till the end of time.

But we're of one blood,
And we're of one name,
Our years apart,
Changes everything.

I tell myself
That it can't be,
There will never
Be a you and me.

Over and over!
I tell myself,
But I think of you,
And nothing else.

The emptiness,
Inside, it grows,
The heaviness,
My heart knows.

I see you smile,
So I smile too,
You'll never know
My love for you...
