Never

Long have I waited here, countless ago.
Is it too much to ask?
Too much to consider, that we could ever be together? 

I know, I understand,
That we do belong together. 
Do you not see how perfectly our hands fit? 

All you have to do is ask. 
Ask and I will answer. 
I would gladly be yours but now I wonder. 

Is there something wrong with me? 
Is there somehow an offense against you? 
I would give you the world, I would give you my heart. 

I could love you, forever and farther. 
Why do you evade my love?
I would be yours, and never consider another. 

The way things are going though,
The pain you’ve put me through,
I must question myself, how could this end. 

Long have I waited here, and forever more. 
I cannot love you near,
But my heart is yours and from afar I cry out. 

To you! To you I cry out! 
My heart is yours,
But I fear yours will never be mine.
