No Matter What We Want

 ~No Matter What We Want~
I want to drink from the glass you took sips
To taste the wine from your glass, with my own lips
You caressed the stem like I want you to caress me
No matter what we want, it never can be.

I want to stare in eyes the colour of mine
I want to feel our bodies softly entwine
No matter what we want, it never can be
I don’t belong to you and you don’t belong to me.

I want to feel your arms hold me so tight 
I want to feel you beside me when I turn at night 
No matter what we want, it never can be
It can never come to pass that we both can see.
