I skip a heartbeat
each time I realize we are destined to be apart.
A quiet ache fills me
as reality whispers
that we can never become “us.”
I’ll never know
the warmth of your arms around me,
the sweet trembling in my soul
when you hold me close,
or the magic of a kiss that could have been ours.
I’ll never walk with you under the stars,
feeling the cool night air
and the comfort of your presence.
Perhaps sitting together,
laughing until time stood still.
Or maybe our hands were never meant to hold on a perfect date...
Dancing with you in the rain
will live on only in my dreams.
The moments of teasing,
pulling your hair,
and feeling the joy of playful embraces,
are what I will always long for.
I’ll never know
How would it feel to walk by your side along the shore,
to lose myself in your gaze
until I see every hidden secret,
to unravel the tenderness inside you
and love you in all the ways the universe
never allowed.
