Unrequited Feelings

A poem of desire for what cannot be obtained.

Like a thirst in the desert
So my heart aches for you
Like my lungs yearn for air
My arms long for your touch.
As my heart desires,
My mind knows that we cannot be
So you are and so remain
But a sight to see.
Yet the heart will not be so swayed
It is a burning within me.

Thus I hope for a closer time
When I may know and behold thee.
