Which life do you need; that which promises hope,
or the other full of uncertainty and chance.
You cannot lie to me, nor can I be deceived.
Love, caring and romance, I understand.
These are the heart of your soul.
Please do not be confused, for you have not been used.
A helping hand has been extended to guide your way.
I pushed back the veil of time to discover your dreams.
Hidden in the crags and recesses of your mind was the key.
It was not that you really wanted me, but a mirage, a specter of promise,
soon lost in the blowing winds rushing through the trees.
Your fears are but an illusion, a wall built to shelter the truth.
Your deepest feelings are beyond what we can share.
But we have shared much, the things that we understand to be love.
I care deeply, deeper than I should for I always knew the cost.
I am not satisfied with being friends, but we cannot be lovers.
Love is not lost, but rediscovered on a different level.
I look into your eyes and I see something special, something deep,
something real, the passion, the love, the romance for which I yearn.
You say it is mine, but underneath I sense the hurt, the frustration,
and I bleed, for I know from whence it came.
Do not think me uncaring or immune for I cry at the thought of separation.
We will never be truly parted for we share a connection of the soul and
of the mind, As all lovers find, there is no name for that which binds us.
Is it fate or destiny which keeps us from consummating our union.
It is what it is and I do not seek a divorce, yet I fear there is more.
I will love you as I do myself for you are part of me,
and that shall remain, always.
