For H

It can't be your love
The existential void
Breaks my heart
I want to be a part of you
I want to touch your soul
To be one with you
To laugh with you
To cry with you
The cosmic change
That binds with time
Taunts my spirit
I sail in a sea of lost aspirations
And faded dreams
Clinging to what is left
Or perceived what I had
I reach out for love, but
It can't be your love
I gather the remnants of my hope
Desire spawned and dead
I don't remember
The day, the hour, the minute
That I fell in love with you
It changed my life
In so many ways
Touch me again
One more time
I will always be yours but
It can't be your love.
