‘You’

There is love between us, yet so unfulfilled.
Here I am yearning for you while I am wandering through these lonely
street of thoughts.
Can I release myself from these shackles?
Dreading it all may be against all odds.
I wonder if this thief of hearts will keep on hunting me for more than
a thousand years.
I can’t tell if this could ever be true love, or another one that will fly
away like a white dove.
I’m pacing back and forth wishing you were the one that I could hold.
I don’t want to live with remorse or fight against this powerful force.
But for once in my life I do not want to flee from the person that I am
longing for and who makes me feel the most alive.
So I made a promise to myself to finally climb that perilous rock and
take the dive.
Now please look at me and tell me that you feel the same as I do.
Someone who can reach out to me just as far as my soul.
If I let this love slip through my fingers it will torment me for life
I know it would
Because our eyes touched each other more than hands ever could.
