Never
You will never meet him
Never embrace
Never have a meaningful conversation
Never lovingly kiss his face
You will never touch him
Never tangle your fingers in his hair
Never realize his dreams
Or exchange a loving stare
And because he rejected you
You've reshaped him as something you could despise
And brought a vendetta upon his family
Waging a war of bitter, empty lies
And yet, he is so much more
Than your limited mentality could create
The jagged, pathetic lines of jealousy
Put limitations in their place
Yet, you desire what you call a monster
You have lost at your own game
And he will never forgive you
Never hear you speak his name
You hold him hostage to your dreams
Try to rob him of happiness and wealth
Disgust him with your obsessions
But the biggest victim you've created is yourself
