Lost Love

Can I not tell her I watched her grow Though my pride beams Yet I am shackled in this life Can I not tell her That my heart Wrote me a fairytale Yet the reality of life is cruel Can I not tell her Her smile Will carry my eyes forever Yet Cupid laughs at his callousness Can I not tell her She must fly away To that life we dreamed Yet I have neither feather nor wing Can I not tell her I love you

The longing is evident within. Your heart is aching and I can feel the pain. This is beautiful and tender, all at the same time. "I have neither feather nor wing" Your words take flight. They will find her, when the time is right. Hugs, Brandy
