A distant memory

A glance of someone who once was

A glimpse of long ago.

I see you

A dreadful longing

A desire I still crave

A secret too deep to consummate.

 

What of this life has brought me passion?

Nothing without you

What of my heart has loved before?

Nothing before you.

 

I see you in the distance.

I feel you in my mind.

Paralyzed by the depth of your words

The echo of your voice-

I see you in the shadows

Staring back at me, but who am I to you?

My love for you is guiltless,

A love intertwined.
