For You Are Not Mine

Confession of love for the one she cannot have.

I'm distracted by you, though you aren't here.
Your face is all I see, your scent all I remember.
Where are you today? Are you happy? Do you miss me?
Or are you with her..as you should be?
There are days I simply want you to hold me.
Then there are days I simply want more.
Every day I want you.
All of these years we've been in love at a distance.
Not a day has passed you didn't capture my thoughts.
I love you to the deepest part of my soul.
When I ponder how much my heart grows taught,
Bursting with the devotion I feel, the passion I want.
My eyes become tear-stained, knowing it's in vain.
For you are not mine.
