Love Unknown

I am the ghost who follows you
Though you know me not at all
I always have and will always be
There to catch you when you fall
I love you more than life itself
But you love life too dear
So I''ll stay back and be content
To catch your every tear
You dream of love and happiness
And wish upon a star
I love you so, but still I know
I''ve no place in your heart
So I will love and die in vain
Be your forever friend
Just know that you will still be loved
Until the very end

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
