Heart In Hand

I ask the sky but the height I cannot hear, Who is holding her hand? Who has something so dear? No longer vigil for the impossible is a deep fear, Dream a kiss on lips and a wipe of a cheek tear, No answers but the obvious can be seen here, Is it a number that is dictated by the year? Never had a chance for happiness with you near, Floating feather wisped by the wind and disappears.

To be honest, I do not get the argument here. Some of the lines are poetic, but this is as far as I dare to go. Thanks, Luis Estable

It is about falling in love but because of circumstances it can not be. The question of why fate made any chance of happiness belong to someone else. Wondering who is better than the next person or is it hindrance because they have true love already. Sky gives no reply so its destiny to love only from afar. Feather symbolize the last hope blowing away.
