Absolutely Everything

My eyes behold her loveliness, my fingers itch to scratch what can't be scratched. I cry out in quiet desperation, just a glimpse of her face has me begging for a taste of her sweet mystery, her moods of curiosity and wonder. I can speak her mind, taste the yearnings in her heart and touch the essence of her soul, yet I'm not permitted in her presence, can't address her hopes and fears, so I must wander lost in unrequited love for the woman who means absolutely everything to me.

What the French would call 'douleur exquise'... The exquisite pain of loving someone you simply can't have. Masterfully done my friend :)
