Loving the Untouchable

My eyes tear
For a man I cannot touch
My hands are empty
For a walk I craved so much

My mind sees visions
Memories from the past
My heart feels nothing anymore
It remains solid as a cast

A silhouette in the distance
For if you can touch it,  the shadow is gone
The scent of a man or woman
Is something that lingers on

Loving the untouchable
Something we all tend to do
It keep our dreams alive
While facing reality too
