(Unrequited Love – A Scene From Much Ado About Nothing, William Oliver)
Lonely For You
It’s you my thoughts stay
Linger in the what if
If…
Is there such a dream to delve?
How I wish I was forgetful, like you
Of all that has been; all that keeps us eternally bound
To watch you from afar
Your life so meticulously laid out
Full of others who are not me
But there are moments
Moments when our paths meet
You on one side, me on the other
Dare you look over?
A glance, a smile, a hello
I see it…the struggle to understand what it means
You and me – somewhere, some time that you cannot recall
A knowing that is as real as the sunlight that warms
You cannot touch it, but it penetrates you all the same
But it is fleeting, and you move on, as do I
To my path on one side, you on the other
Your destiny without me, my destiny knowing
How lonely I am without you
