Once In a Lifetime

I set here alone and my mind returns to thoughts of her. The sky outside my window is ebon,and even though the stars shine with a million pricks of light a blackness grips my soul. Only in dreams may i touch her hair and only in dreams may I breathe in her fragrance and sadly only in dreams may I hold her in my arms. I wake and loneliness takes me by the hand and leads me down a road only to be traveled by one. Ive trod other roads to find a companion and try and escape this torture,but all roads lead me back to her. She is my guide the very reason I take the first step on any journey. Her warm smile and kind heart is a haven along lifes road that I would gladly spend the rest of my life within. It tears at my heart as I near the end of my destination to find the one thing worth traveling to the ends of the earth for.....unobtainable. The road to Love is a dead end,there is a bridge,an abyss between us. I shout across the chasm,I can see her beautiful face,but she is unable to hear my words. How can I cross this gap,how can I make her hear me? Only she has the power to bridge this life and join these two hearts together.
