So Near, Yet So Far

Eventhough I knew from the very start
That thy love is given, but not to me;
Even if it will only break my heart
I am still hoping that someday you'll see.

When you say to her the words "I love you"
To me, I know those words you'll never say
Still I pretend, change the angle of view
Illusions I made up, though it's cliché

I can't see anyone but you, my dear
My heart silently cries from deep within
Say you like someone, "It's me!" I endear
Pain that's aching but I just keep it in.

It hurts, it's so deep, it cuts like a knife
But wounds heal and I'll go on with my life.

A beautifully written melancholy sonnet, Eunice, it is always painful to love someone and they have no idea. I wrote a poem "So Close Yet Out of Reach" last year on the same theme. All my best. John
